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.
If there be with him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To shew unto man what is right for him;
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; laying one thing to another, 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 judgements are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
