Ecclesiastes 7:26-28

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁶ And I found that [of all sinful follies none has been so ruinous in seducing one away from God as idolatrous women] more bitter than death is the woman whose heart is snares and nets and whose hands are bands. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her, but the sinner shall be taken by her.

²⁷ Behold, this I have found, says the Preacher, while weighing one thing after another to find out the right estimate [and the reason]—

²⁸ Which I am still seeking but have not found—one upright man among a thousand have I found, but an upright woman among all those [one thousand in my harem] have I not found.^(A)
