Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁹ Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their efforts. ¹⁰ For if either falls, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to lift him up. ¹¹ Also, if two lie down together, they can keep warm; but how can one person alone keep warm?^{(A) 12} And if someone overpowers one person, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.
