Ecclesiastes 7:27-29
World English Bible
27 “Behold, I have found this,” says the Preacher, “to one another, to find out the scheme 28 which my soul still seeks, but I have not found. I have found one man among a thousand, but I have not found a woman among all those. 29 Behold, I have only found this: that God made man upright; but they search for 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.”
