25 I turned and my heart was set to know and to search and seek out wisdom and the sum of things, and to know that wickedness is folly and that foolishness is madness.
26 And I found more bitter than death the woman whose heart is traps and snares, whose hands are fetters. One who is well-pleasing to God escapes from her, but the sinner is taken by her.
27 See, this is what I have found, says the Preacher, adding one thing to another to find the sum,
28 Which my soul is still seeking but has not found. One man among a thousand I have found, but a woman among all these I have not found.
29 See, this alone have I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes.
