Ecclesiastes 4:3 in the King James Version
Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
Context
2 Therefore I praised the dead who have been long dead more than the living who are yet alive.
3 Yes, better than them both is him who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
4 Then I saw all the labor and achievement that is the envy of a man’s neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
