וְשַׁבֵּ֧חַ אֲנִ֛י אֶת־הַמֵּתִ֖ים שֶׁכְּבָ֣ר מֵ֑תוּ מִן־הַ֣חַיִּ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֛ר הֵ֥מָּה חַיִּ֖ים עֲדֶֽנָה׃
Kaya pinuri ko ang mga patay na matagal nang namatay nang higit kaysa sa mga buhay na nabubuhay pa hanggang ngayon.
Aramaic Targum to Ecclesiastes
And I praised the dead who have long since died, and do not see the punishment which comes into the world after their death, more than the living, who live in this world in so much misery, till now.
