See, this I have found, said the Preacher, one to one, to find out the reason (that still my soul had sought, and I had not found), One man, a teacher, I have found, and a woman among all these I have not found. See, this alone I have found, that God made man upright, and they -- they have sought out many devices.
And he answering said to them, `Did ye not read, that He who made `them', from the beginning a male and a female made them, and said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh?
