Ecclesiastes 4:13-16

13BetterH2896 is a poorH4542 but wiseH2450 youthH3206 than an oldH2205 but foolishH3684 kingH4428 whoH834 noH3808 longerH5750 knowsH3045 how to take a warningH2094. 14ForH3588 the youth has comeH3318 from the prisonH1004H631 to the kingshipH4427, thoughH3588H1571 he was bornH3205 poorH7326 in his own kingdomH4438.

15I saw thatH7200 allH3605 who livedH2416 and walkedH1980 underH8478 the sunH8121 followedH5973 this second oneH8145, the youthH3206 whoH834 succeededH5975 the king. 16There is noH369 limitH7093 to allH3605 the peopleH5971H3605 whoH834 wereH1961 before themH6440. YetH1571 the successor will notH3808 be celebratedH8055 by those who come even laterH314. ThisH2088 tooH3588H1571 is futileH1892 and a pursuitH7475 of the windH7307.
