Ecclesiastes 7:24 in Context — Ecclesiastes 7
22 Pois teu coração sabe que também tu já amaldiçoaste a outros.
23 Tudo isto investiguei com sabedoria. Eu disse: Terei para mim mais sabedoria;porém ela ficava [ainda] mais longe de mim.
24 Quem pode encontrar o que está distante e tão profundo?
25 Decidi em meu coração conhecer, investigar e buscar a sabedoria e a razão; e saber o mal que há na tolice e na loucura das maluquices.
26 E eu encontrei uma coisa mais amarga que a morte: a mulher cujo coração são redes e armadilhas, e suas mãos são amarras; quem for bom perante Deus escapará dela; mas o pecador ficará preso nela.
