"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."
— Ecclesiastes 7:28, World English Bible
“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 seeketh, but I have not found: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found. ”
“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 around, and my heart sought to know and to search out, and to seek wisdom and the scheme of things, and to know that wickedness is stupidity, and that foolishness is madness.
I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and traps, whose hands are chains. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her; but the sinner will be ensnared by her.
"Behold, I have found this," says the Preacher, "one to another, to find out the scheme;
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.
Behold, this only have I found: that God made man upright; but they search for many schemes."
