Ecclesiastes 4:12-15 World English Bible (WEB)

12. If a man prevails against one who is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

13. Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who doesn’t know how to receive admonition any more.

14. For out of prison he came out to be king; yes, even in his kingdom he was born poor.

15. I saw all the living who walk under the sun, that they were with the youth, the other, who succeeded him.
