Ecclesiastes 4:13-16 ▼

13 Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king, who has not known to be warned anymore.

14 For from a house of prisoners he has come out to reign, for even in his own kingdom he has been poor.

15 I have seen all the living, who are walking under the sun, with the second youth who stands in his place;

16 there is no end to all the people, to all who were before them; also, the latter do not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and distress of spirit.
