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.

Verse 28 is found in chapter 7 of Ecclesiastes. Qohelet recounts his search for wisdom and acknowledges that what he desires to understand remains beyond his reach. His investigation into human behavior leads him to a statement about the complexity of the heart. The conclusion states that God made humanity upright, but people have pursued many schemes. The phrase functions as a reflection on how human behavior can depart from the originally good order.

Und meine Seele sucht noch und hat's nicht gefunden: unter tausend habe ich einen Mann gefunden; aber ein Weib habe ich unter den allen nicht gefunden.
Lo que aun busca mi alma, y no encuentro: un hombre entre mil he hallado; mas mujer de todas éstas nunca hallé.
voici ce que mon âme cherche encore, et que je n'ai point trouvé. J'ai trouvé un homme entre mille; mais je n'ai pas trouvé une femme entre elles toutes.
il che ancora cerca l’anima mia, e non l’ho trovato ben ho trovato un uomo fra mille; ma fra altrettante donne, non ne ho trovata neppur una.
A qual ainda busca a minha alma, porém ainda não a achei; um homem entre mil achei eu, mas uma mulher entre todas estas não achei.
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。
