Revised Version 1895
Ecclesiastes 4:7-12
7Then I returnedH7725 and sawH7200 vanityH1892 underH8478 the sunH8121.
8There is one that is aloneH259, and he hath notH3808 a secondH8145; yea, he hath neitherH3808 sonH1121 norH3808 brotherH251; yet is there noH3808 endH7093 of allH3605 his labour, neitherH3808 are his eyesH5869 satisfiedH7646 with richesH6239. For whomH4310 then, saith he, doH589 I labour, and deprive my soulH5315 of goodH2896? This also is vanityH1892, yea, it is a sore travail.
9TwoH8147 are betterH2896 thanH4480 one; becauseH4480 they have a goodH2896 rewardH7939 for their labour.
10For ifH518 they fallH5307, the one will liftH6965 upH6965 his fellow: but woeH337 to him that is aloneH259 when he falleth, and hath notH369 anotherH259 to liftH6965 him upH6965.
11Again, ifH518 twoH8147 lieH7901 togetherH259, then they have warmth: but howH349 canH518 one be warmH2552 aloneH259?
12And ifH518 a manH259 prevailH5975 againstH5048 him that is aloneH259, twoH8147 shall withstandH5975 him; and a threefold cordH2339 is notH3808 quicklyH4120 brokenH5423.
