6Better is a handful of rest than two handfuls of trouble and waywardness of spirit.
7So I returned, and saw vanity under the sun.
8There is one alone, and there is not a second; yes, he has neither son nor brother: yet there is no end to all his labor; neither is his eye satisfied with wealth; and for whom do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? this is also vanity, and an evil trouble.
9Two are better than one, seeing they have a good reward for their labor.
10For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falls, and there is not a second to lift him up.
11Also if two should lie together, they also get heat: but how shall one be warmed alone?
