Ecclesiastes 7:27-29

Good News Translation

²⁷ Yes, said the Philosopher, I found this out little by little while I was looking for answers. ²⁸ I have looked for other answers but have found none. I found one man in a thousand that I could respect, but not one woman. ²⁹ This is all that I have learned: God made us plain and simple, but we have made ourselves very complicated.
