In context

26And 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.

28While 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.

29Only this have I found: I have discovered that God made mankind upright, but they have sought out many schemes.”
