2 And I thought the dead who are already dead ^qmore fortunate than the living who are still alive.

3 If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is ^unot satisfied with life’s good things, and he also has no burial, I say that a ^vstillborn child is ^wbetter off than he.

29 For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ^o‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’
