Աստվածաշնչի հայտնի հատվածներ Ecclesiastes 4-ից

Կիսվել

Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.

A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.

Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone?

And yet, “Better to have one handful with quietness than two handfuls with hard work and chasing the wind.”

Then I observed that most people are motivated to success because they envy their neighbors. But this, too, is meaningless—like chasing the wind.

It is better to be a poor but wise youth than an old and foolish king who refuses all advice.
