Ecclesiastes 4:1-3

1Then I looked again and considered all the acts of oppression that were being practiced under the sun. And behold I saw the tears of the oppressed and they had no one to comfort them; and on the side of their oppressors was power, but they had no one to comfort them.

2So I congratulated and thought more fortunate are those who are already dead than the living who are still living.

3But better off than either of them is the one who has not yet been born, who has not seen the evil deeds that are done under the sun.
