I saw the tears of the oppressed—and they have no comforter;power was on the side of their oppressors—and they have no comforter.And I declared that the dead,who had already died,are happier than the living,who are still alive.But better than bothis the one who has never been born,who has not seen the evilthat is done under the sun.
