Ecclesiastes 7:29
Compare all
27 Here is what I have found,” says athe Preacher,
“Adding one thing to the other to find out the reason, 
28 Which my soul still seeks but I cannot find:
aOne man among a thousand I have found,
But a woman among all these I have not found. 
29 Truly, this only I have found:
aThat God made man upright,
But bthey have sought out many schemes.”

Ecclesiastes 7:29

Lo, this - Though I could not find out all the streams of wickedness, and their infinite windings and turnings, yet I have discovered the fountain of it, Original sin, and the corruption of nature, which is both in men and women. That - God made our first parents, Adam and Eve. Upright - Heb. right: without any imperfection or corruption, conformable to his nature and will, after his own likeness. They - Our first parents, and after them their posterity. Sought out - Were not contented with their present state, but studied new ways of making themselves more wise and happy, than God had made them. And we, their wretched children, are still prone to forsake the certain rule of God's word, and the true way to happiness, and to seek new methods of attaining it.
