Ecclesiastes 4:12-16

¹²And if one should prevail against him, the two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord shall not be quickly broken.

¹³Better is a poor and wise child than an old and foolish king, who knows not how to take heed any longer.

¹⁴For he shall come forth out of the house of the prisoners to reign, because he also that was in his kingdom has become poor.

¹⁵I *saw all the living who were walking under the sun, with the second youth who shall stand up in each one's place.

¹⁶There is no end to all the people, to all who were before them: and the last shall not rejoice in him: for this also is vanity and waywardness of spirit.
