Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Two are better than one ; because they have a good reward for their labour.

9 H8147 Two H2896 are better H259 than one H3426 ; because they have H2896 a good H7939 reward H5999 for their labour.

10 H5307 For if they fall [H8799] H259 , the one H6965 will lift up [H8686] H2270 his fellow H337 : but woe H259 to him that is alone H5307 when he falleth [H8799] H8145 ; for he hath not another H6965 to help him up [H8687] .

11 H1571 Again H8147 , if two H7901 lie together [H8799] H2552 , then they have heat [H8804] H259 : but how can one H3179 be warm [H8799] alone ?

12 H259 And if one H8630 prevail [H8799] H8147 against him, two H5975 shall withstand [H8799] H8027 him; and a threefold [H8794] H2339 cord H4120 is not quickly H5423 broken [H8735] .

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. ¹⁰ For 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. ¹¹ Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth: but how can one be warm [alone]? ¹² And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
