"which my soul still seeketh, but I have not found: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found. "
— Ecclesiastes 7:28, American Standard Version
“Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.”
“which my soul still seeks; but I have not found. One man among a thousand have I found; but I have not found a woman among all those.”
“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.”
“Lo this have I found, said Ecclesiastes, weighing one thing after another, that I might find out the account,”
“For which my soul is still searching, but I have it not; one man among a thousand have I seen; but a woman among all these I have not seen.”
“Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.”
I turned about, and my heart was set to know and to search out, and to seek wisdom and the reason of things, and to know that wickedness is folly, and that foolishness is madness.
And I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
Behold, this have I found, saith the Preacher, laying one thing to another, to find out the account;
which my soul still seeketh, but I have not found: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.
Behold, this only have I found: that God made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
