Read it in contextEcclesiastes 4:6–13

6 Better one handful with quietness than two handfuls with toil and a chasing of the wind. 7 Again I looked, and I saw something futile under the sun: 8 There is someone all alone, with no companion; he has neither son nor brother. Yet there is no end to all his toil, and his eyes are never satisfied with riches. “For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of good things?” This too is futile and a miserable business. 9 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. 10 For if they fall, one will lift up the other; but woe to the one who is alone when he falls and has no one to lift him up. 11 Also, if two lie down together, they keep warm; but how can one keep warm alone? 12 And though someone might overpower one person, two can stand against him. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. 13 Better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to take a warning.
