Ecclesiastes 4:9-15

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?

¹²And if one should prevail against him, The two shall withstand him; And a threefold cord shall not be quickly broken.

¹³Better is a poor and wise child Than an old and foolish king, Who knows not how to take heed any longer.

¹⁴For he shall come forth out of the house of the prisoners to reign, Because he also that was in his kingdom has become poor.

¹⁵I beheld all the living Who were walking under the sun, With the second youth Who shall stand up in each one’s place.
