Ecclesiastes 7:27-29
New American Standard Bible
27 “Behold, I have discovered this,” says the Preacher, “by adding one thing to another to find an explanation, 28 which [a]I am still seeking but have not found. I have found one man among a thousand, but I have not found a (A)woman among all these. 29 Behold, I have found only this, that (B)God made people upright, but they have sought out many schemes.”
