Ecclesiastes 7:28-29
Common English Bible
28 But there’s something that I constantly searched for but couldn’t find: I found one man among a thousand, but I couldn’t find a woman among any of these.[a]
29 See, this alone I found: God made human beings straightforward, but they search for many complications.

Ecclesiastes 7:28-29
New International Version
28 while I was still searching
but not finding—
I found one upright man among a thousand,
but not one upright woman(A) among them all.
29 This only have I found:
God created mankind upright,
but they have gone in search of many schemes.”
