23 I told myself that I would be smart and try to understand all this, but it was too much for me.
24 The truth is beyond us. It's far too deep.
25 So I decided to learn everything I could and become wise enough to discover what life is all about. At the same time, I wanted to understand why it's stupid and senseless to be an evil fool.
26 Here is what I discovered: A bad woman is worse than death. She is a trap, reaching out with body and soul to catch you. But if you obey God, you can escape. If you don't obey, you are done for.
27 With all my wisdom I have tried to find out how everything fits together,
28 but so far I have not been able to. I do know there is one good man in a thousand, but never have I found a good woman.
