Verse 9 is found in chapter 4 of Ecclesiastes. Qohelet considers the solitary person who works endlessly, accumulates wealth, and has no one with whom to share it. The text asks for whom such a person works and emphasizes the value of companionship. Two can withstand a fall better than one, and three cords provide an image of communal strength. The section thus develops a critique of economic self-sufficiency and an appreciation of human relationships.
