Ecclesiastes 4:8-12
Ecclesiastes 4:8
There was a man without a dependent, having neither a son nor a brother, yet there was no end to all his labor. Indeed, his eyes were not satisfied with riches, and he never asked, “And for whom do I labor and deprive myself of pleasure?” This too is futility, and it is an unhappy task.
Ecclesiastes 4:9
Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor;
Ecclesiastes 4:10
for if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up!
Ecclesiastes 4:11
Furthermore, if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone?
Ecclesiastes 4:12
And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.
