Verse in context — Ecclesiastes 4

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.

Better [is] a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.

For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also [he that is] born in his kingdom becometh poor.
