Ecclesiastes 7:26
"I find" that, of all my sinful follies, none has been so ruinous a snare in seducing me from God as idolatrous women (I Kings 11:3-4; Proverbs 5:3-4; Proverbs 22:14). As "God's favor is better than life," she who seduces from God is "more bitter than death."
whoso pleaseth God—as Joseph (Genesis 39:2-3, Genesis 39:9). It is God's grace alone that keeps any from falling.
