Ecclesiastes 7:27-29

New American Standard Bible

²⁷ “Behold, I have discovered this,” says the Preacher, “by adding one thing to another to find an explanation, ²⁸ which ^[a]I am still seeking but have not found. I have found one man among a thousand, but I have not found a ^(A)woman among all these. ²⁹ Behold, I have found only this, that ^(B)God made people upright, but they have sought out many schemes.”
