Genesis 2:18

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

9 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. 10 For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! 11 Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, ^cbut how can one keep warm alone? 12 And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Isaiah 56:3-5

3 Let not ^dthe foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say,
“The Lord will surely separate me from his people”;
and let not the eunuch say,
“Behold, I am ^ea dry tree.”
4 For thus says the Lord:
“To the eunuchs ^fwho keep my Sabbaths,
who choose the things that please me
and hold fast my covenant,
5 ^gI will give in my house and within my walls
a ^hmonument and a name
better than sons and daughters;
ⁱI will give them an everlasting name
that shall not be cut off.
