I, Ecclesiastes, was king of Israel at Jerusalem.
The words of Ecclesiastes, the son of David, the king of Jerusalem.
Vanity of vanities, said Ecclesiastes, and all is vanity!
And I have discovered a woman more bitter than death: she who is like the snare of a hunter, and whose heart is like a net, and whose hands are like chains. Whoever pleases God shall flee from her. But whoever is a sinner shall be seized by her.
