8There is but one, and he hath not a second, no child, no brother, and yet he ceaseth not to labour, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches, neither doth he reflect, saying: For whom do I labour, and defraud my soul of good things? in this also is vanity, and a grievous vexation.
9It is better therefore that two should be together, than one: for they have the advantage of their society:
10If one fall he shall be supported by the other: woe to him that is alone, for when he falleth, he hath none to lift him up.
11And if two lie together, they shall warm one another: how shall one alone be warmed?
