In context
7So I returned, and saw vanity under the sun.
8There is one alone, and there is not a second; Yea, he has neither son nor brother: Yet there is no end to all his labor; Neither is his eye satisfied with wealth; And for whom do I labor, And deprive my soul of good? This is also vanity, And an evil trouble.
— Ecclesiastes 4:9 —
10For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: But woe to him that is alone when he falls, And there is not a second to lift him up.
11Also if two should lie together, they also get heat: But how shall one be warmed alone?
