Ecclesiastes 4:1-2

So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of {such as were} oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors {there was} power; but they had no comforter. {side: Heb. hand} Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.
