Ecclesiastes 4:8-10

English Standard Version Anglicised

⁸ one person who has no other, either son or brother, yet there is no end to all his toil, and his ^(A)eyes are never satisfied with riches, so that he never asks, ^(B)“For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?” This also is vanity and an unhappy ^(C)business.

⁹ Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. ¹⁰ For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!
