Ecclesiastes 4:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

I saw some people who were crying because cruel people were hurting them.
    There was nobody who could help them.
    Nobody could rescue them from those cruel people.
² I thought about people who are already dead.
    I decided that they are happier than the people who are still alive.
³ But people who have not yet been born are even happier!
    They have not seen the evil things that happen on the earth.
