Ecclesiastes 4:12-14

New King James Version

¹² Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.
And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

¹³ Better a poor and wise youth
Than an old and foolish king who will be admonished no more.
¹⁴ For he comes out of prison to be king,
Although ^[a]he was born poor in his kingdom.
