Ecclesiastes 4:3-5
New International Reader's Version

3 But someone who hasn’t been born yet
    is better off than the dead or the living.
That’s because that person hasn’t seen the evil things
    that are done on earth.

4 I also saw that a person works hard and accomplishes a lot. But they do it only because they want what another person has. That doesn’t have any meaning either. It’s like chasing the wind.

5 Foolish people fold their hands and don’t work.
    And that destroys them.
