26 I found more bitter than death the woman who is a trap, whose heart is nets, whose hands are fetters; one who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is taken by her.(A) 27 See, this is what I found, says the Teacher, adding one thing to another to find the sum,(B) 28 which my mind 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. 29 See, this alone I found, that God made human beings straightforward, but they have devised many schemes.(C)

26 I find more bitter than death
the woman who is a snare,(A)
whose heart is a trap
and whose hands are chains.
The man who pleases God will escape her,
but the sinner she will ensnare.(B)
27 “Look,” says the Teacher,[a](C) “this is what I have discovered:
“Adding one thing to another to discover the scheme of things—
28 while I was still searching
but not finding—
I found one upright man among a thousand,
but not one upright woman(D) among them all.
29 This only have I found:
God created mankind upright,
but they have gone in search of many schemes.”
