Reading for March 24th

Read Ecclesiastes 7,15-29. In 7.15-29: Practical advice. In verse 18: One ... other: Not being too wise and not being too foolish (compare vv. 16-17). In verse 20: No one ... sinning: See 1 Kings 8.46. In verse 26: The woman: Decries the gossipy, frivous woman (Prov 7). Few men, but even fewer women, are righteous. Does the book reflect an aniti-female bias? In verse 29: Human beings: In Hebrew the word is singular ("adham"); the same word is translated man in v. 28. Humans; (or just males?) were created good (Gen 1) but nonetheless sin. Comments or Questions..
