Ecclesiastes 4:9

Authorized (King James) Version

⁹Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

Ecclesiastes 4:9

New International Version

⁹Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:

¹²And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

¹²Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
