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.
If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show unto man his uprightness;
Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
Behold, this have I found, saith the Preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account;
With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
