10. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falls; for he has not another to help him up.

12. And if one prevails against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
13. Better is a poor and wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no longer be admonished.
