Halakhah sobre Eclesiastes 7:26
וּמוֹצֶ֨א אֲנִ֜י מַ֣ר מִמָּ֗וֶת אֶת־הָֽאִשָּׁה֙ אֲשֶׁר־הִ֨יא מְצוֹדִ֧ים וַחֲרָמִ֛ים לִבָּ֖הּ אֲסוּרִ֣ים יָדֶ֑יהָ ט֞וֹב לִפְנֵ֤י הָאֱלֹהִים֙ יִמָּלֵ֣ט מִמֶּ֔נָּה וְחוֹטֵ֖א יִלָּ֥כֶד בָּֽהּ׃
E eu achei uma coisa mais amarga do que a morte, a mulher cujo coração são laços e redes, e cujas mãos são grilhões; quem agradar a Deus escapará dela; mas o pecador virá a ser preso por ela.
Sefer HaMitzvot
He prohibited us that we not wander after our hearts to the point that we believe doctrines that are the opposite of the doctrines that the Torah obligates us. Rather we must restrain our thoughts and place a boundary against them to stand thereby - and that is the Torah's commandments and its prohibitions. And that is His saying, "and you shall not wander after your hearts and after your eyes" (Numbers 15:39). And the language of the Sifrei (Sifrei Bamidbar 115:1) is, "'After your hearts' - that is heresy, as the matter that is stated (Ecclesiastes 7:26), 'And I find more bitter than death the woman (understand to mean heresy), etc.' 'And after your eyes' - that is promiscuity, as the matter that is stated (Judges 14:3) 'Take her for me, for she is just in my eyes.'" [This is] meaning to say, being drawn after physical desires and mental involvement with them. (See Parashat Shelach; Mishneh Torah, Foreign Worship and Customs of the Nations 2.)
