Ecclesiastes 7:27-29

International Standard Version

²⁷“Look at this,” says the Teacher. “Linking one thing to another, I reached this conclusion:

²⁸Among 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.
²⁹I have discovered only this:
    God made human beings for righteousness,
        but they seek many alternatives.”
