Then again, I, looked at a vain thing under the sun: -

Here is one, without a second, even son or brother, he hath none, yet is there no end to all his toil, even his eye, is not satisfied with riches, - neither saith he For whom, am I toiling, and letting my soul want good? Even this, was vanity, yea a vexatious employment, it was!

Better are two, than one, - in that they have a good reward for their toil.

For, if the one should fall, the other would raise up his companion, - but alas! for him who is alone when he falleth, with no second to raise him up!

Moreover, if two lie together, then have they warmth, - but how can, one, have warmth?

And, though an enemy should prevail against one, two, might make a stand before him, - and, a threefold cord, cannot soon be broken.
