Ecclesiastes 7:28

which my soul has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. One man among a thousand I found, but a woman among all these I have 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.

which my soul continually searches for but does not find: I found one person in a thousand, but none of those was a woman.

Though I have searched repeatedly, I have not found what I was looking for. Only one out of a thousand men is virtuous, but not one woman!

What my heart sought, I did not find. Although I found one righteous man among one thousand, I did not find one upright woman among all these.

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.
