Ecclesiastes 4:8-12

ECB(i) 8 there is one; and there is no second: yes, he has neither son nor brother; yet he neither ends his toil nor satisfies his eye with riches: For whom toil I, that my soul lacks good? This is also vanity; yes, an evil drudgery. 9 Two are better than one because they have a good hire for their toil; 10 for if they fall, the one raises his companion: but woe to the one when he falls, who has no second to raise him. 11 Yes, if two lie together, they heat; but how warms the one? 12 And if one prevails against him, two withstand him: a triple thread is not quickly torn.
