Ecclesiastes 4:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ I saw a person who had no family.
    He had no son or brother.
He always worked hard.
    But he was never satisfied with what he had.
He never asked himself, “For whom am I working so hard?
    Why don’t I let myself enjoy life?”
This also is very sad and senseless.

⁹ Two people are better than one.
    They get more done by working together.
¹⁰ If one person falls,
    the other can help him up.
But it is bad for the person who is alone when he falls.
    No one is there to help him.
