Ecclesiastes 7:26-29
A woman who hunts a man down is more painful than death. Her heart is like a trap. Her hands are like chains. A man who pleases God will try to get away from her. But she will trap a sinner.“ Look,” says the Teacher.“ Here’s what I’ve discovered.“ I added one thing to another to find out everything I could about wisdom.I searched and searched but found very little. I did find one honest man among a thousand. But I didn’t find one honest woman among a thousand.Here’s the only other thing I found. God created human beings as honest. But they’ve made many evil plans.”
