VBA to copy 2 columns from a closed workbook

could an expert provide VBA that will copy columns C and Columns L from a closed workbook into my current workbook

The path for the closed workbook is C:\jagwarman\AP\Reports

    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    
    filePath = "C:\jagwarman\AP\Reports\LDNEQUEQF012.xls"
    Set wb = Application.Workbooks.Open(filePath)
    
    wb.ActiveSheet.Range("C:C").Copy Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Columns("A")
