Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

9Two are better than one because they have a good return 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 2another to lift him up. 11Furthermore, if two lie down together they 3keep warm, but 4how can one be warm alone? 12And if 5one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.
