Ecclesiastes 4:2-4

Expanded Bible

² I ·decided that the dead
    are better off than the living [^Lpraised the dead who were already dead more than the living who are still alive].
³ But those who have never ·been born [existed; ^Lbeen]
    are better off still;
they have not seen the evil
    that is done ·here on earth [^Lunder the sun; 1:3].
