Ecclesiastes 4:1-2 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.
