Ecclesiastes 4:2

2 And I am praising the dead who have already died above the living who are yet alive.

Ecclesiastes 2:17

17 And I have hated life, for sad to me `is' the work that hath been done under the sun, for the whole `is' vanity and vexation of spirit.

Job 3:11-26

11 Why from the womb do I not die? From the belly I have come forth and gasp!

12 Wherefore have knees been before me? And what `are' breasts, that I suck?

13 For now, I have lain down, and am quiet, I have slept -- then there is rest to me,

14 With kings and counsellors of earth, These building wastes for themselves.

15 Or with princes -- they have gold, They are filling their houses `with' silver.

16 (Or as a hidden abortion I am not, As infants -- they have not seen light.)

17 There the wicked have ceased troubling, And there rest do the wearied in power.

18 Together prisoners have been at ease, They have not heard the voice of an exactor,

19 Small and great `are' there the same. And a servant `is' free from his lord.

20 Why giveth He to the miserable light, and life to the bitter soul?

21 Who are waiting for death, and it is not, And they seek it above hid treasures.

22 Who are glad -- unto joy, They rejoice when they find a grave.

23 To a man whose way hath been hidden, And whom God doth shut up?

24 For before my food, my sighing cometh, And poured out as waters `are' my roarings.

25 For a fear I feared and it meeteth me, And what I was afraid of doth come to me.

26 I was not safe -- nor was I quiet -- Nor was I at rest -- and trouble cometh!

Ecclesiastes 9:4-6

4 But `to' him who is joined unto all the living there is confidence, for to a living dog it `is' better than to the dead lion.

5 For the living know that they die, and the dead know not anything, and there is no more to them a reward, for their remembrance hath been forgotten.

6 Their love also, their hatred also, their envy also, hath already perished, and they have no more a portion to the age in all that hath been done under the sun.
