Ecclesiastes 4:1-3

1Again, I observed all the oppression that takes place under the sun. I saw the tears of the oppressed, with no one to comfort them. The oppressors have great power, and their victims are helpless.

2So I concluded that the dead are better off than the living.

3But most fortunate of all are those who are not yet born. For they have not seen all the evil that is done under the sun.
