Ecclesiastes 7:26-28
International Standard Version
26 I discovered for myself a bitterness
that surpasses that of death:
the woman whose heart is full of[a] snares and nets,
whose hands are chains of bondage.
Whoever pleases God will escape from her,
but the transgressor will be trapped by her.
27 “Look at this,” says the Teacher. “Linking one thing to another, I reached this conclusion:
28 Among the things I seek but have not found:
one man among a thousand I did find,
but I have not found one woman to be wise[b] among all these.
