Ecclesiastes 4:12-16
Ecclesiastes 4:12
And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.
Ecclesiastes 4:13
A poor yet wise youth is better than an old and foolish king who no longer knows how to receive instruction—
Ecclesiastes 4:14
for he has come out of prison to become king, even though he was born poor in his kingdom.
Ecclesiastes 4:15
I have seen all those living under the sun move to the side of the second youth who replaces him.
Ecclesiastes 4:16
There is no end to all the people, to all who were before them. Even the ones who will come later will not be happy with him; for this too is futility and striving after wind.
