Ecclesiastes 4:7-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁷ Again, I saw futility under the sun: ⁸ There is a person without a companion,^[a] without even a son or brother, and though there is no end to all his struggles, his eyes are still not content with riches.^(A) “So who am I struggling for,” he asks, “and depriving myself from good?” This too is futile and a miserable task.

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