Ecclesiastes 7:24-26

English Standard Version

²⁴ That which has been is far off, and ^(A)deep, very deep; ^(B)who can find it out?

^25 (C)I turned my heart to know and to search out and to seek wisdom and the scheme of things, and to know the wickedness of folly and the foolishness that is madness. ²⁶ And I find something more ^(D)bitter than death: ^(E)the woman whose heart is ^(F)snares and nets, and whose hands are fetters. He who pleases God escapes her, but ^(G)the sinner is taken by her.
