New King James Version
Ecclesiastes 4:7-9
New King James Version
7 Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun:
8 There is one alone, without [a]companion:
He has neither son nor brother.
Yet there is no end to all his labors,
Nor is his (A)eye satisfied with riches.
But (B)he never asks,
“For whom do I toil and deprive myself of (C)good?”
This also is vanity and a [b]grave misfortune.
The Value of a Friend
9 Two are better than one,
Because they have a good reward for their labor.
