Verse in context — Ecclesiastes 4
There is one [alone], and [there is] not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet [is there] no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither [saith he], For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This [is] also vanity, yea, it [is] a sore travail.
Two [are] better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him [that is] alone when he falleth; for [he hath] not another to help him up.
Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm [alone]?
And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
