Ecclesiastes 7:27-29
Lexham English Bible
27 “Look! I found this,” said the Teacher,[a] “while trying to find how the plan fits together. 28 What my heart sought, I did not find. Although I found one righteous man among one thousand, I did not find one upright woman among all these. 29 Look! This alone I found: God made mankind upright, but they have devised many schemes.”
