Ecclesiastes 4:8–12 · BSB
4:8 There is a man all alone, without even a son or brother. And though there is no end to his labor, his eyes are still not content with his wealth: “For whom do I toil and bereave my soul of enjoyment?” This too is futile—a miserable task.
4:9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.
4:10 For if one falls down, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to help him up!
4:11 Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; but how can one keep warm alone?
4:12 And though one may be overpowered, two can resist. Moreover, a cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
