Ecclesiastes - ch 7 v 21 - 29
- Also to all the words that they speak give not thy heart, that thou hear not thy servant reviling thee.
- For many times also hath thy heart known that thou thyself also hast reviled others.
- All this I have tried by wisdom; I have said, `I am wise,' and it `is' far from me.
- Far off `is' that which hath been, and deep, deep, who doth find it?
- I have turned round, also my heart, to know and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and reason, and to know the wrong of folly, and of foolishness the madness.
- And I am finding more bitter than death, the woman whose heart `is' nets and snares, her hands `are' bands; the good before God escapeth from her, but the sinner is captured by her.
- See, this I have found, said the Preacher, one to one, to find out the reason
- (that still my soul had sought, and I had not found), One man, a teacher, I have found, and a woman among all these I have not found.
- See, this alone I have found, that God made man upright, and they -- they have sought out many devices.
