我继续寻找，却未找到；一千当中，我找到一个男的，但在这一切当中，却找不到一个女的。

我继续寻找，却未找到；一千当中，我找到一个男的，但在这一切当中，却找不到一个女的。

我的心仍在寻觅，却还找不到，就是在一千个男人中，我找到一个正直人，但在所有的女人中，连一个也找不到。

我繼續尋找，卻未找到；一千當中，我找到一個男的，但在這一切當中，卻找不到一個女的。

我繼續尋找，卻未找到；一千當中，我找到一個男的，但在這一切當中，卻找不到一個女的。

我的心仍在尋覓，卻還找不到，就是在一千個男人中，我找到一個正直人，但在所有的女人中，連一個也找不到。

就是我心裏屢次尋找着，而未曾找到的：在一千人中我找到了一個正直的男人，但女人呢，在一千人之中、我卻找不到一個正直的。

我心所求、猶未遇者、千男之中、我得其一、眾女之中、不得其一、

我心又有所尋、而未尋得、千男之中、猶可得一俊士、千女之中、未必得一哲婦、

while I was still searching but not finding— I found one upright man among a thousand, but not one upright woman among them all.

I searched and searched but found very little. I did find one honest man among a thousand. But I didn’t find one honest woman among a thousand.

which my soul has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. One man among a thousand I found, but a woman among all these I have not found.

Though I have searched repeatedly, I have not found what I was looking for. Only one out of a thousand men is virtuous, but not one woman!

which my soul continually searches for but does not find: I found one person in a thousand, but none of those was a woman.

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.

Which my soul still seeks but I cannot find: One man among a thousand I have found, But a woman among all these I have not found.

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

which my soul continually searches for but does not find: among a thousand people I have found one true man, but among all these I have not found a true woman.

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

What I have continually sought, I have not found; I have found only one upright man among a thousand, but I have not found one upright woman among all of them.

which my soul still seeks, but I have not found. I have found one man among a thousand, but I have not found a woman among all those.

一千天使中，若有一個作傳話的與神同在，指示人所當行的事，

所羅門王在法老的女兒之外，又寵愛許多外邦女子，就是摩押女子、亞捫女子、以東女子、西頓女子、赫人女子。論到這些國的人，耶和華曾曉諭以色列人說：「你們不可與她們往來相通，因為她們必誘惑你們的心去隨從她們的神。」所羅門卻戀愛這些女子。所羅門有妃七百，都是公主；還有嬪三百。這些妃嬪誘惑他的心。

耶和華啊，求你幫助，因虔誠人斷絕了；世人中間的忠信人沒有了。

夜間，我心中羨慕你；我裏面的靈切切尋求你。因為你在世上行審判的時候，地上的居民就學習公義。

我曾用智慧試驗這一切事；我說，要得智慧，智慧卻離我遠。萬事之理，離我甚遠，而且最深，誰能測透呢？
