Ecclesiastes 4:11-16
-
11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
-
12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
-
13 Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
-
14 For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor.
-
15 I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
-
16 There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
