Ecclesiastes 4:9-15

⁹Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.

¹⁰For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up.

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

¹²If a man prevails against one who 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 doesn’t know how to receive admonition any more.

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

¹⁵I saw all the living who walk under the sun, that they were with the youth, the other, who succeeded him.
