I discovered this: More bitter than death is the kind of woman who is like a hunter’s snare; her heart is like a hunter’s net and her hands are like prison chains. The man who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is captured by her.The Teacher says: I discovered this while trying to discover the scheme of things, item by item.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.This alone have I discovered: God made humankind upright, but they have sought many evil schemes.
