Ecclesiastes 4:1-3

1Again, I observed all the acts of oppression being done under the sun. Look at the tears of those who are oppressed; they have no one to comfort them. Power is with those who oppress them; they have no one to comfort them.

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

3But better than either of them is the one who has not yet existed, who has not seen the evil activity that is done under the sun.
