One in a thousand

”Ecclesiastes 7:27-29 says, “Behold, this is what I found, says the Preacher, while adding one thing to another to find the scheme of things— [28] 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. [29] See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes.”
Even in the days of Solomon righteousness was not easy to find. Solomon noted that he only found one man in a thousand that would be considered righteous. Yet among a thousand women he found none. Solomon, having a thousand wives was one who could easily speak with authority.
What is the reason for all of this wickedness? God didn’t make man wicked. God made man upright and man has sought out wickedness.
