Ecclesiastes 7:24-28 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

24. I cannot understand why things are as they are.It is too hard for anyone to understand.

25. I studied and tried very hard to find wisdom.I tried to find some meaning for everything.I learned that it is foolish to be evil.And it is crazy to act like a fool.

26. I found that some women are worse than death.They are as dangerous as traps.Their love is like a net.Their arms hold men like chains.A man who follows God will run away from them.But a sinner will be caught by them.

27. The Teacher says, “This is what I learned:I added all these things togetherto see if I could find some meaning for everything.

28. I am still looking for it,but I have not found it.But I did discover that truly good people are hard to find.Such people are one in a million!
