| Again, I saw that for all toil and every skillful work a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind. | And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. |
| Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. | Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. |
| For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. | 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. |
| Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken. | Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. |
Bible verse of the day
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise.
