Ecclesiastes 7:27-29

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁷ Behold, this is what I found, says the Preacher, adding one thing to another to find the sum, 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 Behold, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many devices.
