Text -- Ecclesiastes 7:25-29 (NET)
![](images/arrow_open.gif)
Strongs On/Off
Context
True Righteousness and Wisdom are Virtually Nonexistent
7:25 I tried to understand , examine , and comprehend the role of wisdom in the scheme of things , and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the insanity of folly .
7:26 I discovered this: More bitter than death is the kind of woman who is like a hunter’s snare ; her heart is like a hunter’s net and her hands are like prison chains . The man who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is captured by her.
7:27 The Teacher says : I discovered this while trying to discover the scheme of things, item by item .
7:28 What I have continually sought , I have not found ; I have found only one upright man among a thousand , but I have not found one upright woman among all of them.
7:29 This alone have I discovered : God made humankind upright , but they have sought many evil schemes .
