²⁶ I find more bitter than death
    the woman who is a snare,^(A)
whose heart is a trap
    and whose hands are chains.
The man who pleases God will escape her,
    but the sinner she will ensnare.^(B)

²⁸     while I was still searching
    but not finding—
I found one upright man among a thousand,
    but not one upright woman^(A) among them all.
