Ecclesiastes 4:10 in context
8There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

12And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
