‏ Ecclesiastes 7:25-26

v. 25: Solomon says, I applied my heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness. He worked hard to learn what is wise and what is foolish, to understand the difference between wisdom and folly. He wanted to understand why people do foolish and wicked things and what makes them act in such ways.

v. 26: And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. Solomon warns about the dangers of temptation, especially from people who lead others into sin. He says that being trapped in sinful desires is worse than death. Those who please God will escape such traps, but sinners will be caught by them.
