The King James Version Bible

Ecclesiastes 4:9-13

  1. Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

  2. 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.

  3. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?

  4. And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

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