Ecclesiastes 7:24-26

Legacy Standard Bible

²⁴ What has been is far away and ^(A)exceedingly deep. ^(B)Who can find it? ²⁵ I ^(C)turned my heart to know, to explore, and to seek wisdom and an explanation, and to know the wickedness of foolishness and the simpleminded folly of madness. ²⁶ And I found more ^(D)bitter than death the woman whose heart is ^(E)snares and nets, whose hands are chains. ^(F)One who is good before God will escape from her, but ^(G)the sinner will be captured by her.
