Ecclesiastes 7:24-26

American Standard Version

²⁴ That which ^[a]is, is far off and exceeding deep; who can find it out? ²⁵ I turned about, and my heart was set to know and to search out, and to seek wisdom and the reason of things, and to know ^[b]that wickedness is folly, and that foolishness is madness. ²⁶ And I find more bitter than death the woman ^[c]whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
