Ecclesiastes 4:9 in Context — Ecclesiastes 4
7 Yo me torné otra vez, y vi vanidad debajo del sol.
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]?
