21 Also to all the words that shall be spoken thou shalt not give thy heart, that thou shalt not hear thy servant cursing thee. 22 For also many times thy heart knew that thou didst also curse others. 23 All this I proved by wisdom: I said I will be wise, and it was removed far off from me. 24 What was far off, and the depth, deep, who shall find it? 25 I went round about, I and my heart, to know, and to examine, and to search out wisdom and understanding, and to know the injustice of folly, and the folly of wickedness: 26 And I find bitter above death the woman that her heart it is snares and nets, her hands are bonds: the good one before God shall escape from her, and he sinning shall be taken by her. 27 See, this I found, said the preacher: one to one to find understanding. 28 Which yet my soul sought, and found not; one man from a thousand I found; and a woman in all these I found not. 29 Only see, this I found, that God made man upright; and they sought out many purposes.
