King James Version
"And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken."
— Ecclesiastes 4:12, King James Version
“And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. ”
“If a man prevails against one who is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
“Although an assailant may overpower one person, two can withstand him. Moreover, a three-stranded cord is not quickly broken.”
“And if a man prevail against one, two shall withstand him: a threefold cord is not easily broken.”
“And two attacked by one would be safe, and three cords twisted together are not quickly broken.”
“And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor.
I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
