Men Are Better Than Women

Is there anyone good left in the world? Solomon had a hard time finding out. He tried to find life’s answers on his own, but he failed miserably. However, he did discover one harsh truth: nothing is worse than a wicked woman.

“And I discovered as more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, whose hands are chains. One who is pleasing to God will escape from her, but the sinner will be captured by her,” (Ecclesiastes 7:26).

Not surprisingly, Solomon says finding a good man is nearly impossible too!

“which I am still seeking but have not found. I have found one man among a thousand, but I have not found a woman among all these,” (Ecclesiastes 7:28).

It’s tough out there, folks! He says while it is almost impossible to find one worthwhile man, it is impossible to find a worthwhile woman!

Personal Reflection:

Solomon was talking about living in a world that mostly ignored God. When God initially made us, He didn’t make us like this…so depraved. Solomon’s point? Free will means everyone has twisted motives.

“Behold, I have found only this, that God made people upright, but they have sought out many schemes,” (Ecclesiastes 7:29).
