There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it is frequent among men:

which my soul yet seeketh, and I have not found: one man among a thousand have I found, but a woman among all those have I not found.

This is an evil among all that is done under the sun, that one thing befalleth all: yea, also the heart of the children of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live; and after that, they have to go to the dead.

The words of the wise are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
