Ecclesiastes 4:3
Thomson 1808
those who are still alive: but better than both is he who hath never been—who hath not seen all the evil work which is done under the sun.
Brenton 1851
Better also than both these is he who has not yet been, who has not seen all the evil work that is done under the sun.
Greek · Brenton
Καὶ ἀγαθὸς ὑπὲρ τοὺς δύο τούτους ὅστις οὔπω ἐγένετο, ὃς οὐκ εἶδε σὺν πᾶν τὸ ποίημα τὸ πονηρὸν τὸ πεποιημένον ὑπὸ τὸν ἥλιον.
