Behold, this I have found, says the Preacher, counting one by one, to find out the sum,
I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
and I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands like bands. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her, but the sinner shall be taken by her.
which my soul still sought, but I find not: one man among a thousand I have found, but a woman among all those I have not found.
