But better than both

is the one who has never been born,

who has not seen the evil

that is done under the sun.

But better than either of them is the one who has not yet existed, who has not seen the evil activity that is done under the sun.

But most fortunate of all are those who are not yet born. For they have not seen all the evil that is done under the sun.

But better off than both of them is the one who has not yet been born

and has not seen the evil deeds that are done under the sun.

Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
