Ecclesiastes 4:1-3 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. Again I saw all types of oppression that are done under the sun: Look! The tears of the oppressed,and no one was there to comfort them.And there was force from the hand of the oppressors,and no one was there to comfort them.

2. And I thought that fortunate were the deadwho had already died,even more than the livingwho were still alive.

3. And still better than bothis he who has not been,who has not seen the evil deedsthat are done under the sun.
