5The fool is clasping his hands, and eating his own flesh:
6`Better [is] a handful [with] quietness, than two handfuls [with] labour and vexation of spirit.`
7And I have turned, and I see a vain thing under the sun:
8There is one, and there is not a second; even son or brother he hath not, and there is no end to all his labour! His eye also is not satisfied with riches, and [he saith not], `For whom am I labouring and bereaving my soul of good?` This also is vanity, it is a sad travail.
9The two [are] better than the one, in that they have a good reward by their labour.
10For if they fall, the one raiseth up his companion, but wo to the one who falleth and there is not a second to raise him up!
11Also, if two lie down, then they have heat, but how hath one heat?
