27 “Look,” says the Teacher, “I have discovered this by adding one thing to another to find out the explanation, 28 which my soul continually searches for but does not find: I found one person in a thousand, but none of those was a woman.(A) 29 Only see this: I have discovered that God made people upright,(B) but they pursued many schemes.”

Ecclesiastes 7:27-29
International Standard Version
27 “Look at this,” says the Teacher. “Linking one thing to another, I reached this conclusion:
28 Among the things I seek but have not found:
one man among a thousand I did find,
but I have not found one woman to be wise[a] among all these.
29 I have discovered only this:
God made human beings for righteousness,
but they seek many alternatives.”
