Yea, better than them both [is] him who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
Because, behold, the days are coming, during which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the bellies that gave no birth, and the breasts that did not suckle.
And woe to those who have in the womb and to those who suckle in those days.
So I hated life, because the work that is wrought under the sun was grievous to me. For all is vanity and a striving after wind.
who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad when they can find the grave?
I have seen all the works that are done under the sun, and, behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.
