Ecclesiastes 7:23-29
23All this I have tested by wisdom. I said, “I will be wise,” but it was far from me.
24That which has been is far off, and deep, very deep; who can find it out?
25I turned my heart to know and to search out and to seek wisdom and the scheme of things, and to know the wickedness of folly and the foolishness that is madness.
26And I find something more bitter than death: the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are fetters. He who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is taken by her.
27Behold, this is what I found, says the Preacher, while adding one thing to another to find the scheme of things—
28which my soul has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. One man among a thousand I found, but a woman among all these I have not found.
29See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes.
