Ecclesiastes 4:3
King James Version
“Yea, better than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.”
Context
1So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors power; but they had no comforter.
2Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.
3Yea, better than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
4Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This also vanity and vexation of spirit.
5The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
6Better an handful quietness, than both the hands full travail and vexation of spirit.
