21 (7:23) Giue not thine heart also to all ye wordes that men speake, lest thou doe heare thy seruant cursing thee. 22 (7:24) For often times also thine heart knoweth that thou likewise hast cursed others. 23 (7:2) All this haue I prooued by wisedome: I thought I will be wise, but it went farre from me. 24 (7:26) It is farre off, what may it be? And it is a profound deepenesse, who can finde it? 25 (7:27) I haue compassed about, both I and mine heart to knowe and to enquire and to search wisedome, and reason, and to knowe the wickednesse of follie, and the foolishnesse of madnesse, 26 (7:28) And I finde more bitter then death the woman whose heart is as nettes and snares, and her handes, as bands: he that is good before God, shalbe deliuered from her, but the sinner shall be taken by her. 27 (7:29) Beholde, sayth the Preacher, this haue I found, seeking one by one to finde the count: 28 (7:30) And yet my soule seeketh, but I finde it not: I haue found one man of a thousand: but a woman among them all haue I not founde. 29 (7:31) Onely loe, this haue I founde, that God hath made man righteous: but they haue sought many inuentions.
