Ecclesiastes 4:12-14

Christian Standard Bible

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.^{(A) 14} For he came from prison to be king,^(B) even though he was born poor in his kingdom.
