Ecclesiastes 4:1 - 4:3

The Tears of the Oppressed

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