Ecclesiastes 4:1-3

1Then I looked again at all the acts of 1oppression which were being done under the sun. And behold, I saw the tears of the oppressed and that they had 2no one to comfort them; and power was on the side of their oppressors, but they had no one to comfort them. 2So 3I congratulated the dead who are already dead, more than the living who are still living. 3But 4better off than both of them is the one who has never existed, who has never seen the evil activity that is done under the sun.
