3 But better than both is he who has not yet been and has not seen the evil deeds that are done under the sun.

3 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.

3 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.

3 Yet, better than both is he who has never existed,

Who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

3 But those who have never been born

are better off still;

they have not seen the evil

that is done here on earth.

3 yea, better than them both did I esteem him that hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

3 and more fortunate than both is he who hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

3 But the person who hasn’t been born yet is better off than both of them. He hasn’t seen the evil that is done under the sun. 

3 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.

3 but better than both is the one who has not yet been, and has not seen the evil deeds that are done under the sun.

3 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.

3 But someone who hasn’t been born yet

is better off than the dead or the living.

That’s because he hasn’t seen the evil things

that are done on earth.

3 But better off than both of them is the one who has never existed, who has never seen the evil activity that is done under the sun.
