Ecclesiastes 4:7-12

7Then I returnedH7725 and sawH7200 vanityH1892 under the sunH8121. 8There is oneH259 that is alone, and he hath not a secondH8145; yea, he hath neither sonH1121 nor brotherH251; yet is there no endH7093 of all his laborH5999, neither are his eyesH5869 satisfiedH7646 with richesH6239. For whom then, saith he, do I laborH5999, and deprive my soulH5315 of goodH2896? This alsoH1571 is vanityH1892, yea, it is a sore travail. 9TwoH8147 are betterH2896 than oneH259, because they have a goodH2896 rewardH7939 for their laborH5999. 10For if they fallH5307, the oneH259 will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, and hath not another to lift him up. 11Again, if twoH8147 lieH7901 together, then they have warmth; but howH349 can oneH259 be warmH2552 alone? 12And if a man prevail against him that is alone, twoH8147 shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quicklyH4120 broken.
