Ecclesiastes 7:24 in Context — Ecclesiastes 7

22 Porque tu corazón sabe, como tú también dijiste mal de otros muchas veces.

23 Todas estas cosas probé con sabiduría, diciendo: Hacerme he sabio: mas ella se alejó de mí.

24 Lejos está lo que fué; y lo muy profundo ¿quién lo hallará?

25 Yo he rodeado con mi corazón por saber, y examinar, é inquirir la sabiduría, y la razón; y por conocer la maldad de la insensatez, y el desvarío del error;

26 Y yo he hallado más amarga que la muerte la mujer, la cual es redes, y lazos su corazón; sus manos [como] ligaduras. El que agrada á Dios escapará de ella; mas el pecador será preso en ella.
