Ecclesiastes 4:11 in Context — Ecclesiastes 4

9 Mejores son dos que uno; porque tienen mejor paga de su trabajo.

10 Porque si cayeren, el uno levantará á su compañero: mas ¡ay del solo! que cuando cayere, no habrá segundo que lo levante.

11 También si dos durmieren juntos, se calentarán; mas ¿cómo se calentará uno [solo]?

12 Y si alguno prevaleciere contra el uno, dos estarán contra él; y cordón de tres dobleces no presto se rompe.

13 Mejor es el muchacho pobre y sabio, que el rey viejo y fatuo que no sabe ser aconsejado.
