“Two better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.”
Context
6Better an handful quietness, than both the hands full travail and vexation of spirit.
7Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
8There is one and not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This also vanity, yea, it a sore travail.
9Two better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
10For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him alone when he falleth; for not another to help him up.
11Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm
12And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
