Ecclesiastes 4:2-4

21st Century King James Version

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

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

⁴ Again, I considered all travail and every right work for which a man is envied by his neighbor. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
