Ecclesiastes 7:28
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
While my soul was still searching but not finding, among a thousand I have found one upright man, but among all these I have not found one such woman.
In context
26 And I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a net, and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is ensnared.
27 “Behold,” says the Teacher, “I have discovered this by adding one thing to another to find an explanation.
28 While my soul was still searching but not finding, among a thousand I have found one upright man, but among all these I have not found one such woman.
29 Only this have I found: I have discovered that God made men upright, but they have sought out many schemes.”
