8 There is one [alone], and [there is] not a second; yes, he hath neither child nor brother: yet [is there] no end of all his labor; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither [saith he], For whom do I labor, and bereave my soul of good? This [is] also vanity, yes, it [is] a grievous labor.
9 Two [are] better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.
10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him [that is] alone when he falleth; for [he hath] not another to help him to rise.
11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm [alone]?
12 And if one prevaileth against him, two shall withstand him; and a three-fold cord is not quickly broken.
