Ecclesiastes 4:10-12

New English Translation

¹⁰ For if they fall, one will help his companion up,
but pity^[a] the person who falls down and has no one to help him up.
¹¹ Furthermore, if two lie down together, they can keep each other warm,
but how can one person keep warm by himself?
¹² Although an assailant may overpower^[b] one person,
two can withstand him.
Moreover, a three-stranded cord is not quickly broken.
