Ecclesiastes 4:10 in Context — Ecclesiastes 4

8 Está un hombre solo y sin sucesor; que ni tiene hijo ni hermano; mas nunca cesa de trabajar, ni sus ojos se hartan de sus riquezas, [ni se pregunta]: ¿Para quién trabajo yo, y defraudo mi alma del bien? También esto es vanidad, y duro trabajo.

9 Mejores son dos que uno; porque tienen mejor paga de su trabajo.

10 Porque si cayeren, el uno levantará á su compañero: mas ¡ay del solo! que cuando cayere, no habrá segundo que lo levante.

11 También si dos durmieren juntos, se calentarán; mas ¿cómo se calentará uno [solo]?

12 Y si alguno prevaleciere contra el uno, dos estarán contra él; y cordón de tres dobleces no presto se rompe.
