Ecclesiastes 7:29

← Ecclesiastes 7:28 Ecclesiastes 7:29 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 8:1 →
Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.
Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
Who [is] as the wise [man]? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.
