Holman Christian Standard Bible
And if someone overpowers one person, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.

New American Standard Bible
And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three [strands] is not quickly torn apart.

King James Bible
And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. International Standard Version
If someone attacks one of them, the two of them together will resist. Furthermore, the tri-braided cord is not soon broken.

American Standard Version
And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Young's Literal Translation
And if the one strengthen himself, the two stand against him; and the threefold cord is not hastily broken.Ecclesiastes 4:12 • Ecclesiastes 4:12 NIV • Ecclesiastes 4:12 NLT • Ecclesiastes 4:12 ESV • Ecclesiastes 4:12 NASB • Ecclesiastes 4:12 KJV • Ecclesiastes 4:12 Commentaries • Ecclesiastes 4:12 Bible Apps • Ecclesiastes 4:12 Biblia Paralela • Ecclesiastes 4:12 Chinese Bible • Ecclesiastes 4:12 French Bible • Ecclesiastes 4:12 German Bible
