yet: Ecc 7:23, Ecc 7:24; Isa 26:9 one: Job 33:23; Psa 12:1 but: Solomon, instead of seeking one rational, virtuous woman, had collected an immense multitude, of various countries and religions, for magnificence and indulgence; among whom, as might have been expected, he had not found one who was thoroughly faithful, upright, and pious. He here uses the language of a penitent, warning others of the errors into which he had been led; and not that of a wasphish satirist, lashing indiscriminately one half of the human species. Kg1 11:1-3 Ecclesiastes 7:29
