Ecclesiastes 4:7-12
7Then I looked again at vanity under the sun. 8There was a certain man without a second man, having neither a son nor a brother, yet there was no end to all his labor. Indeed, ahis eyes were not satisfied with riches—“And bfor whom am I laboring and depriving myself of good?” This too is vanity, and it is a cgrievous endeavor.
9Two are better than one because they have good wages for their labor. 10For if 1either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not a second one to lift him up. 11Furthermore, if two lie down together they 1keep warm, but ahow can one be warm alone? 12And if 1one can overpower him who is alone, two can stand against him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.
