Ecclesiastes 4:9-16

Ecclesiastes 4:9-16

[9] Two  are better  than one;  because they have  a good  reward  for their labour.  [10] 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.  [11] Again,  if two  lie together,  then they have heat:  but how can one  be warm  alone? [12] And if one  prevail  against him, two  shall withstand  him; and a threefold  cord  is not quickly  broken.  [13] Better  is a poor  and a wise  child  than an old  and foolish  king,  who will  no more be admonished.  [14] he cometh  to reign;  whereas also he that is born  in his kingdom  becometh poor.  [15] I considered  all the living  which walk  under the sun,  with the second  child  that shall stand up  [16] There is no end  of all the people,  even of all that have been before  them: they also that come after  shall not rejoice  in him. Surely this also is vanity  and vexation  of spirit.
