ECCLESIASTES 4:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
Eccl 4:11Eccl 4:13
And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
The claim that a threefold cord is not quickly broken, while a single thread is easily broken, extends the principle of strength through numbers while introducing a note about stability and durability. The image suggests that relationships and community provide a kind of resilience that isolated individuals lack. Yet the verse also introduces an important limit: even a threefold cord breaks eventually; multiple numbers provide advantage but not permanence, just greater resistance to sudden failure.
