Ecclesiastes 4:1-3

21st Century King James Version

4 So I returned and considered 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 are already dead more than the living who are yet alive;

³ yea, better than both of them is he who hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
