Ecclesiastes 4:1-3

¹And I have turned, and I see all the oppressions that are done under the sun, and lo, the tear of the oppressed, and they have no comforter; and at the hand of their oppressors is power, and they have no comforter.

²And I am praising the dead who have already died above the living who are yet alive.

³And better than both of them is he who hath not yet been, in that he hath not seen the evil work that hath been done under the sun.
