Ecclesiastes 7:26 in different translations
English
KJV (66 books)
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.
ASV
And I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
BSB
And I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a net, and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is ensnared.
DRA [7:27]
And I have found a woman more bitter than death, who is the hunter’s snare, and her heart is a net, and her hands are bands. He that pleaseth God shall escape from her: but he that is a sinner, shall be caught by her.
FBV
I discovered something more horrible than death: foolishness like a woman who tries to entrap you, who wants to use her mind and hands to catch you and tie you up. Those who follow God will not be caught, but sinners will fall into her trap.
GNV
It is farre off, what may it be? and it is a profound deepenesse, who can finde it?
LSV
And I am finding more bitter than death, the woman whose heart [is] nets and snares, her hands [are] bands; the good before God escapes from her, but the sinner is captured by her.
NIV (US)
I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a trap and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner she will ensnare.
OJB
And I find more mar (bitter) than mavet the isha, whose lev is snares and traps, and her hands are as chains; whoso pleaseth HaElohim shall escape from her; but the choteh (sinner) shall be ensnared by her.
RV
And I find a thing more bitter than death, even 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.
T4T
One thing I learned was that ◄allowing a woman to seduce you/having sex with a woman to whom you are not married► is worse than dying. A woman who tries to seduce men is as dangerous as a trap [MET]. If you allow her to put her arms around you, it will be as though she will be fastening you with chains. Women like that will capture sinful men, but men who please God will escape from such women.
WEB (US)
I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and traps, whose hands are chains. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her; but the sinner will be ensnared by her.

РСП (66 кн.)
и нашел я, что горше смерти женщина, потому что она — сеть, и сердце ее — силки, руки ее — оковы; добрый пред Богом спасется от нее, а грешник уловлен будет ею.
НРП
И нашел я, что горше смерти та женщина, что подобна сети, чье сердце — ловушка и чьи руки — оковы. Человек, угодный Богу, избежит ее, а грешник будет ею пойман.
Заокская (Кулаков)
И убедился я, что горше смерти — женщина, которая устраивает западню, чье сердце — сеть, а руки — оковы. Человек, угодный Богу, вырвется, но грешник попадется!
ВП
И нашёл я, что горше смерти та женщина, что подобна сети, чьё сердце — ловушка и чьи руки — оковы. Человек, угодный Всевышнему, избежит её, а грешник будет ею пойман.
ВП-А
И нашёл я, что горше смерти та женщина, что подобна сети, чьё сердце — ловушка и чьи руки — оковы. Человек, угодный Аллаху, избежит её, а грешник будет ею пойман.
СП (БЛ)
И ещё я понял, что некоторые женщины опасны, словно ловушки, их сердца как сети, а руки как цепи. И быть пойманным такой женщиной хуже самой смерти. Кто следует Богу, тот избежит её, но грешник станет её добычей.
