Ecclesiastes 7:24-26

Common English Bible

²⁴ All that happens is elusive and utterly unfathomable. Who can grasp it? ²⁵ I turned my mind to know, to investigate, and to seek wisdom, along with an account of things, to know that wickedness is foolishness and folly is madness.

²⁶ I found one woman more bitter than death: she who is a trap, her heart a snare, her hands shackles. Anyone who pleases God escapes her, but a sinner is trapped by her.
