ASV: And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. BBE: And two attacked by one would be safe, and three cords twisted together are not quickly broken.

JPS: And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. WBS: And if one prevaileth against him, two shall withstand him; and a three-fold cord is not quickly broken. WEB: If a man prevails against one who is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
