Ecclesiastes 7:27-29

English Standard Version

²⁷ Behold, this is what I found, says ^(A)the Preacher, while adding one thing to another to find the scheme of things— ²⁸ which my soul has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. ^(B)One man among a thousand I found, but ^(C)a woman among all these I have not found. ²⁹ See, this alone I found, that ^(D)God made man upright, but ^(E)they have sought out many schemes.
