Ecclesiastes 4:11

⁹ Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.

¹⁰ For if one falls down, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to help him up!

Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; but how can one keep warm alone?

¹² And though one may be overpowered, two can resist. Moreover, a cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

¹³ Better is a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to take a warning.
