Contextual Overview

⁷ Moreouer I turned me, and beholde yet another vanitie vnder the sunne. ⁸ There is one man, no mo but himselfe alone, hauing neither childe nor brother, yet is there no ende of his carefull trauayle, his eyes can not be satisfied with riches: [yet saith he not] for whom do I take such trauayle? For whose pleasure do I thus consume away my life? This is also a vayne and miserable thyng. ⁹ Therfore two are better then one, for they may well enioy the profite of their labour: For yf one of them fall, his companion helpeth him vp agayne. ¹⁰ But wo is him that is alone: for yf he fal, he hath not another to helpe him vp. ¹¹ Agayne, when two sleepe together they are warme: but howe can a body be warme alone? ¹² One may be ouercome, but two may make resistaunce: A three folde gable is not lightly broken.
