Ecclesiastes 7:28
World English Bible (WEB)
which my soul still seeks, but I have not found. I have found one man among a thousand, but I have not found a woman among all those.
In context
26 I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and traps, whose hands are chains. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her; but the sinner will be ensnared by her.
27 “Behold, I have found this,” says the Preacher, “to one another, to find an explanation
28 which my soul still seeks, but I have not found. I have found one man among a thousand, but I have not found a woman among all those.
29 Behold, I have only found this: that God made mankind upright; but they search for many inventions.”
