    12 And if a [man] overpower the one, the two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.DBY — Ecclesiastes 4:12

    13 Better is a poor but wise youth than an old and foolish king, who knoweth no more how to be admonished.DBY — Ecclesiastes 4:13

    14 For out of the prison-house he came forth to reign, although he was born poor in his kingdom.DBY — Ecclesiastes 4:14

    15 I saw all the living that walk under the sun, with the child, the second, that should stand up in his stead.DBY — Ecclesiastes 4:15

    16 [There is] no end of all the people, of all that stood before them; those however that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after the wind.DBY — Ecclesiastes 4:16
