NASB
"And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart."
— Ecclesiastes 4:12, NASB
“And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
“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 return for their labor.
For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up.
Furthermore, if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone?
And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.
A poor yet wise lad is better than an old and foolish king who no longer knows how to receive instruction.
For he has come out of prison to become king, even though he was born poor in his kingdom.
I have seen all the living under the sun throng to the side of the second lad who replaces him.
