- And where a single man can be overcome,
two together will be able to resist.
A cord with three strands is not easily broken. - For everything there is a season,
and a time for every activity under heaven. - 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. - Do not assert that the past was better than the present,
for such a statement is not a sign of wisdom. - One who is covetous will never be satisfied with money,
nor will the lover of wealth be content with gain.
This too is vanity. - Two are better than one:
they earn a far greater reward for their toil. - Just as you do not know the path of the wind
or how the body is formed in a woman’s womb,
so you do not know the work of God,
the Creator of all. - Banish grief from your heart
and ignore the sufferings of your body,
for youth and the prime of life are fleeting. - When things are going well, be grateful for your blessings,
and in times of adversity consider this:
God has made both of them,
so that we cannot predict with confidence
what the future holds. - For much wisdom can result in much sorrow,
and those who increase their knowledge also increase their grief.
