Ecclesiastes 7:27-29
Amplified Bible
27 “Behold, I have discovered this,” says the Preacher, “while adding one thing to another to find an explanation, 28 which I am still seeking but have not found. I have found one [a]man among a thousand [who pleases God], but I have not found [such] a woman among all these [a thousand in my harem].(A) 29 Behold, I have found only this [as a reason]: God made man upright and uncorrupted, but they [both men and women] have sought out many devices [for evil].”
