23All this I have tried by wisdom; I have said, `I am wise,` and it [is] far from me.
24Far off [is] that which hath been, and deep, deep, who doth find it?
25I 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.
26And 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.
27See, this I have found, said the Preacher, one to one, to find out the reason
28(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.
29See, this alone I have found, that God made man upright, and they -- they have sought out many devices.
