Ecclesiastes 4



<< Ecclesiastes 4 >>
GOD'S WORD ® Translation
 

11Again, if two people lie down together, they can keep warm, but how can one person keep warm? 12Though one person may be overpowered by another, two people can resist one opponent. A triple-braided rope is not easily broken.

13A young man who is poor and wise is better than an old, foolish king who won't take advice any longer. 14A young man came out of prison to rule as king, even though he had been born in poverty in that same kingdom. 15I saw all living people moving about under the sun. They sided with the second young man, the king's successor. 16There was no end to all those people, everyone whom he led.?kings[."> But those who will come later will not be happy with the successor. Even this is pointless.]It's like[ trying to catch the wind.]
