Popular Bible Verses from Kohelet 4

Share

Two are better than one because they have a sachar tov for their amal. For if they fall, the echad will lift up his partner, but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

Though echad may be overpowered, shnayim shall withstand him; and a khoot hameshulash (threefold cord) is not quickly broken.

Also, if two lie down, then they have chom (heat), but how can one be warm alone?

Better is a handful with tranquility than both the hands full with amal and chasing after ruach.

Again, I considered all amal, and every kishron hama'aseh (skillful achievement), that such is a simple derivative of kinat ish meirei'eihu (the envy of man of his neighbor). This also is hevel, a chasing after ruach.

Better is a poor and a wise yeled than an old and foolish melech, who will no more be admonished.
