Ecclesiastes 4:9-13

Ecclesiastes 4:9-13 MEV

Two are better than one, because there is a good reward for their labor together. For if they fall, then one will help up his companion. But how tragic for the one who falls and has no one to help him up. Again, if two people lie together, they will keep warm; but how can one keep warm by himself? And if someone might overpower another, two people can withstand him. A threefold cord is not quickly broken. Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king, who no longer knows how to receive a warning.
