טוֹבִים הַשְּׁנַיִם מִן־הָאֶחָד אֲשֶׁר יֵשׁ־לָהֶם שָׂכָר טוֹב בַּעֲמָלָֽם
Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
כִּי אִם־יִפֹּלוּ הָאֶחָד יָקִים אֶת־חֲבֵרוֹ וְאִילוֹ הָֽאֶחָד שֶׁיִּפּוֹל וְאֵין שֵׁנִי לַהֲקִימֽוֹ
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, and hath not another to lift him up.
גַּם אִם־יִשְׁכְּבוּ שְׁנַיִם וְחַם לָהֶם וּלְאֶחָד אֵיךְ יֵחָֽם
Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one be warm alone?
וְאִֽם־יִתְקְפוֹ הָאֶחָד הַשְּׁנַיִם יַעַמְדוּ נֶגְדּוֹ וְהַחוּט הַֽמְשֻׁלָּשׁ לֹא בִמְהֵרָה יִנָּתֵֽק
And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
טוֹב יֶלֶד מִסְכֵּן וְחָכָם מִמֶּלֶךְ זָקֵן וּכְסִיל אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָדַע לְהִזָּהֵר עֽוֹד
Better is a poor and wise child than an old and foolish king, who knoweth not how to receive admonition any more.
