What does Ecclesiastes 7:26 mean?

I found something more bitter than death: a woman whose heart is a trap, whose hands are chains. Whoever pleases God escapes her, but the sinner gets caught. Ecclesiastes 7:26 - Modern Text Bible

(This verse uses the image of a dangerous woman to describe temptation and destructive relationships. Those who follow God avoid these traps.)
