Ecclesiastes 4:1 WEB

¹  Then I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and, behold, the tears of those who were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.

²  Therefore I praised the dead who have been long dead more than the living who are yet alive.

³  Yes, better than them both is him who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
