Ecclesiastes 4:7-12

7Then I returned and saw vanity under the sun.

8There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labour, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then, saith he, do I labour, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

9Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

10For if they fall, the one 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 two lie together, then they have warmth: but how can one be warm alone?

12And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
