Ecclesiastes 7:24 Context
22For often times also thine owne heart knoweth, that thou thy selfe likewise hast cursed others. 23¶ All this haue I prooued by wisedome: I said, I will be wise, but it was farre from me. 24That which is farre off, and exceeding deepe, who can finde it out? 25I applyed mine heart to know, and to search, and to seeke out wisdome, and the reason of things, aud to know the wickednes of folly, euen of foolishnesse and madnesse. 26And I finde more bitter then death, the woman whose heart is snares & nets, and her handes as bands: who so pleaseth God, shall escape from her, but the sinner shall be taken by her.
