Ecclesiastes 4:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 And if one overcome him, two shall stand against him: and a threefold [a]cord is not easily broken.
13 Better is a poor and wise child, than an old and foolish King, which will no more be admonished.
14 For out of the [b]prison he cometh forth to reign: when as he that is [c]born in his kingdom, is made poor.
