Ecclesiastes 7.29

²⁹“Truly, this only I have found:
That God made man upright,
But they have sought out many schemes.”

Ecclesiastes 7.27, 28

²⁷”Here is what I have found,” says the Preacher,
“Addingone thing to the other to find the reason,
²⁸Which my soul still seeks but I cannot find:
One man among a thousand I have found:
But a woman among all these I have not found.”

Every Man His Snare

Ecclesiastes 7.25, 26

²⁵I applied my heart to know,
To search out and seek out wisdom and the reason of things,
To know the wickedness of folly
Even of foolishness andmadness.
²⁶And I find more bitter than death

The woman whose heart is snares and nets,
Whose hands arefetters.
He who pleases God shall escape from her,
But the sinner shall be trapped by her.

Ecclesiastes 7.19-24

¹⁹Wisdom strengthens the wise
More than ten rulers of the city.
²⁰For there isnot a just man on earth who does good
And does not sin.
²¹Also do not take to heart everything people say,
Lest you hear your servant cursing you.
²²For many times, also, your own heart has known
That even you have cursed others.
²³All this I have proved by wisdom.
I said, “I will be wise”:
But it was far from me.
²⁴As for that which is far off, and exceedingly deep,
Who can find it out?

Ecclesiastes 7.16-18

¹⁶Do not be overly righteous,
Nor be overly wise:
Why should you destroy yourself?
¹⁷Be not overly wicked,
Nor be foolish:
Why should you die before your time?
¹⁸It isgood that you grasp this,
And also not remove your hand from the other;
For he who fears God will escape them all.
