| And if one should fall, his companion will help him up. How pathetic is the man who is alone and falls and has no one to assist him to his feet. | If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. |
| And where a single man can be overcome, two together will be able to resist. A cord with three strands is not easily broken. | Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. |
