Ecclesiastes 4:1-2
Lexham English Bible

The Existence of Oppression in the World Makes Human Existence Miserable

4 I looked again, and I saw all the oppression that occurs under the sun.

I saw the tears of the oppressed—

2 So I deemed the dead who have already died
    more fortunate than the living who are still alive.
