Ecclesiastes 4:8-16

There is
<03426>
one
<0259>
[alone], and [there is] not a second
<08145>_;
yea, he hath neither child
<01121>
nor brother
<0251>_:
yet [is there] no end
<07093>
of all his labour
<05999>_;
neither is his eye
<05869>
satisfied
<07646> (8799)
with riches
<06239>_;
neither [saith he], For whom do I labour
<06001>_,
and bereave
<02637> (8764)
my soul
<05315>
of good
<02896>_?
This [is] also vanity
<01892>_,
yea, it [is] a sore
<07451>
travail
<06045>_.
Two
<08147>
[are] better
<02896>
than one
<0259>_;
because they have
<03426>
a good
<02896>
reward
<07939>
for their labour
<05999>_.
For if they fall
<05307> (8799)_,
the one
<0259>
will lift up
<06965> (8686)
his fellow
<02270>_:
but woe
<0337>
to him [that is] alone
<0259>
when he falleth
<05307> (8799)_;
for [he hath] not another
<08145>
to help him up
<06965> (8687)_.
Again
<01571>_,
if two
<08147>
lie together
<07901> (8799)_,
then they have heat
<02552> (8804)_:
but how can one
<0259>
be warm
<03179> (8799)
[alone]?
And if one
<0259>
prevail
<08630> (8799)
against him, two
<08147>
shall withstand
<05975> (8799)
him; and a threefold
<08027> (8794)
cord
<02339>
is not quickly
<04120>
broken
<05423> (8735)_.
Better
<02896>
[is] a poor
<04542>
and a wise
<02450>
child
<03206>
than an old
<02205>
and foolish
<03684>
king
<04428>_,
who will
<03045> (8804)
no more be admonished
<02094> (8736)_.
{who...: Heb. who knoweth not to be admonished}
For out of prison
<0631> (8803) <01004>
he cometh
<03318> (8804)
to reign
<04427> (8800)_;
whereas also [he that is] born
<03205> (8738)
in his kingdom
<04438>
becometh poor
<07326> (8802)_.
I considered
<07200> (8804)
all the living
<02416>
which walk
<01980> (8764)
under the sun
<08121>_,
with the second
<08145>
child
<03206>
that shall stand up
<05975> (8799)
in his stead.
[There is] no end
<07093>
of all the people
<05971>_,
[even] of all that have been before
<06440>
them: they also that come after
<0314>
shall not rejoice
<08055> (8799)
in him. Surely this also [is] vanity
<01892>
and vexation
<07475>
of spirit
<07307>_.
