Ecclesiastes 4:13-16

13Better is a poor but wise youth than an old and foolish king, who knoweth no more how to be admonished. 14For out of the prison-house he came forth to reign, although he was born poor in his kingdom. 15I saw all the living that walk under the sun, with the child, the second, that should stand up in his stead. 16[There is] no end of all the people, of all that stood before them; those however that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after the wind.
