9. It is better therefore that two should be together, than one: for they have the advantage of their society:
10. If one fall he shall be supported by the other: woe to him that is alone, for when he falleth, he hath none to lift him up.
11. And if two lie together, they shall warm one another: how shall one alone be warmed?
12. And if a man prevail against one, two shall withstand him: a threefold cord is not easily broken.
13. Better is a child that is poor and wise, than a king that is old and foolish, who knoweth not to foresee for hereafter.
