²⁶ I found that ·some women [or women] are ·worse [^Lmore bitter] than death
    and are ·as dangerous as traps [^La trap/snare].
Their ·love is like [^Lheart is] a net,
    and their ·arms hold men like [^Lhands are] chains.
A man who pleases God will ·be saved from [escape] them,
    but ·a sinner [or someone who offends him] will be caught by them.

²⁷ The ·Teacher [or Preacher; ^LAssembler; 1:1] says, “This is what I ·learned [^Lfound]:
·I added all these things together
    to find some meaning for everything [^LOne to one to find the sum/scheme of things].
²⁸ While I was searching and not finding,
    I found one man among a thousand.
But I did not find a woman among all these [^Cthat is a good woman].
