1 J’ai considéré ensuite toutes les oppressions qui se commettent sous le soleil; et voici, les opprimés sont dans les larmes, et personne qui les console! Ils sont en butte à la violence de leurs oppresseurs, et personne qui les console!
2 Et j’ai trouvé les morts qui sont déjà morts plus heureux que les vivants qui sont encore vivants,
3 et plus heureux que les uns et les autres celui qui n’a point encore existé et qui n’a pas vu les mauvaises actions qui se commettent sous le soleil.
