Ecclesiastes / Question
Question source
Ecclesiastes
The phrase appears in a section praising companionship over isolation, using examples of help, warmth, and protection (Ecclesiastes 4:10–12). “A threefold cord is not quickly broken” summarizes the idea that joined strength endures better than standing alone (Ecclesiastes 4:12).
12If a man prevails against one who is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
