Ecclesiastes 4:11-13

Christian Standard Bible

¹¹ Also, if two lie down together, they can keep warm; but how can one person alone keep warm?^{(A) 12} And if someone overpowers one person, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.

¹³ Better is a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer pays attention to warnings.^(B)
