26 And I find something more (A)bitter than death: (B)the woman whose heart is (C)snares and nets, and whose hands are fetters. He who pleases God escapes her, but (D)the sinner is taken by her. 27 Behold, this is what I found, says (E)the Preacher, while adding one thing to another to find the scheme of things— 28 which my soul has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. (F)One man among a thousand I found, but (G)a woman among all these I have not found. 29 See, this alone I found, that (H)God made man upright, but (I)they have sought out many schemes.

Keep the King's Command

Who is like the wise?
    And who knows the interpretation of a thing?
(J)A man's wisdom makes his face shine,
    and (K)the hardness of his face is changed.
