Ecclesiastes 4:7-12
7AgainH7725, IH589 sawH7200 futilityH1892 underH8478 the sunH8121. 8There isH3426 aH259 man all aloneH369H8145, withoutH369 evenH1571 a sonH1121 or brotherH251. And though there is noH369 endH7093 to his laborH5999, his eyesH5869 are stillH1571 notH3808 contentH7646 with his wealthH6239: “For whomH4310 do IH589 toilH6001 and bereaveH2637 my soulH5315 of enjoymentH2896?” ThisH2088 tooH1571 is futileH1892—a miserableH7451H1931 taskH6045.
9TwoH8147 are betterH2896 thanH4480 oneH259, becauseH834 they haveH3426 a goodH2896 returnH7939 for their laborH5999. 10ForH3588 ifH518 oneH259 falls downH5307, his companionH2270 can lift him upH6965; but pityH337 the oneH259 who fallsH5307 withoutH369 anotherH8145 to help him upH6965! 11AgainH1571, ifH518 twoH8147 lie down togetherH7901, they will keep warmH2552; but howH349 can oneH259 keep warm aloneH2552? 12And thoughH518 oneH259 may be overpoweredH8630, twoH8147 can resistH5975. Moreover, a cordH2339 of threeH8027 strands is notH3808 quicklyH4120 brokenH5423.
