ECCLESIASTES 4:9-15

⁹Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

¹⁰For 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.

¹¹Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth: but how can one be warm alone?

¹²And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

¹³Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king, who knoweth not how to receive admonition any more.

¹⁴For out of prison he came forth to be king; yea, even in his kingdom he was born poor.

¹⁵I saw all the living which walk under the sun, that they were with the youth, the second, that stood up in his stead.
