Ecclesiastes 4:11-13

English Standard Version

¹¹ Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, ^(A)but how can one keep warm alone? ¹² And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

¹³ Better was ^(B)a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who no longer knew how ^(C)to take advice.
