Ecclesiastes 4:1-2 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

1. Again I saw that many people are treated badly. I saw their tears, and I saw that there was no one to comfort them. I saw that cruel people had all the power, and I saw that there was no one to comfort the people they hurt.

2. I decided that it is better for those who have died than for those who are still alive.
