Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
The Message
9-10 It’s better to have a partner than go it alone.
Share the work, share the wealth.
And if one falls down, the other helps,
But if there’s no one to help, tough!
Ecclesiastes 4:12
The Message
Ecclesiastes 4:12
The Message
12 By yourself you’re unprotected.
With a friend you can face the worst.
Can you round up a third?
A three-stranded rope isn’t easily snapped.
