Ecclesiastes 7:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ And I have found a woman more bitter than death, who is the hunter's snare, and her heart is a net, and her hands are bands. He that pleaseth God shall escape from her: but he that is a sinner, shall be caught by her.

²⁸ Lo this have I found, said Ecclesiastes, weighing one thing after another, that I might find out the account,

²⁹ Which yet my soul seeketh, and I have not found it. One man among a thousand I have found, a woman among them all I have not found.
