Ecclesiastes 4:9

New International Version

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

¹²Though one may be overpowered by another, two can 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.
