Ecclesiastes 7:28
Ecclesiastes 7:26-29 The Message (MSG)
One discovery: A woman can be a bitter pill to swallow, full of seductive scheming and grasping. The lucky escape her; the undiscerning get caught. At least this is my experience—what I, the Quester, have pieced together as I’ve tried to make sense of life. But the wisdom I’ve looked for I haven’t found. I didn’t find one man or woman in a thousand worth my while. Yet I did spot one ray of light in this murk: God made men and women true and upright; we’re the ones who’ve made a mess of things.
Ecclesiastes 7:28 King James Version (KJV)
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.
Ecclesiastes 7:28 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
which I am still seeking but have not found. I have found one man among a thousand, but I have not found a woman among all these.
Ecclesiastes 7:28 New Century Version (NCV)
While I was searching, I did not find one man among the thousands I found. Nor did I find a woman among all these.
Ecclesiastes 7:28 American Standard Version (ASV)
which my soul still seeketh, but I have not found: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.

while I was still searching but not finding— I found one upright man among a thousand, but not one upright woman among them all.
Ecclesiastes 7:28 New King James Version (NKJV)
Which my soul still seeks but I cannot find: One man among a thousand I have found, But a woman among all these I have not found.
Ecclesiastes 7:28 Amplified Bible (AMP)
which I am still seeking but have not found. I have found one man among a thousand [who pleases God], but I have not found [such] a woman among all these [a thousand in my harem]. [1 Kin 11:3]
