Ecclesiastes 4:7-9

Modern English Version

⁸ There is a man who is alone,
    neither having son or brother,
and there is not an end to all his toil,
    and his eyes are not satisfied with riches to say,
“For whom do I labor
    and cause my life to lack good things?”
Also this is vanity
    and a burdensome task.

⁹ Two are better than one,
    because there is a good reward for their labor together.
