Ecclesiastes 7:26-29

²⁶And I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a net, and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is ensnared.

²⁷“Behold,” says the Teacher, “I have discovered this by adding one thing to another to find an explanation.

²⁸While my soul was still searching but not finding, among a thousand I have found one upright man, but among all these I have not found one such woman.

²⁹Only this have I found: I have discovered that God made men upright, but they have sought out many schemes.”
