Ecclesiastes 4:1-3

1And I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold, the tears of the oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors was power, and they had no comforter.

2Then I praised the dead who are already dead more than the living who are yet alive;

3and more fortunate than both is he who hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
