Ecclesiastes 7:27
Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account:
KJV
et inveni amariorem morte mulierem, quæ laqueus venatorum est, et sagena cor ejus ; vincula sunt manus illius. Qui placet Deo effugiet illam ; qui autem peccator est capietur ab illa.
Vulgate
καὶ εὑρίσκω ἐγὼ αὐτήν, καὶ ἐρῶ πικρότερον ὑπὲρ θάνατον· σὺν τὴν γυναῖκα ἥτις ἐστὶν θήρευμα, καὶ σαγῆναι καρδία αὐτῆς, δεσμὸς εἰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς· ἀγαθὸς πρὸ προσώπου τοῦ θεοῦ ἐξαιρεθήσεται ἀπ’ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἁμαρτάνων συλλημφθήσεται ἐν αὐτῇ.
LXX
Behold, this have I found, saith the Preacher, laying one thing to another, to find out the account;
