Ecclesiastes 4:13-16

13Better was a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who no longer knew how to take advice.

14For he went from prison to the throne, though in his own kingdom he had been born poor.

15I saw all the living who move about under the sun, along with that youth who was to stand in the king's place.

16There was no end of all the people, all of whom he led. Yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.
