Ecclesiastes 4:13-16

13Better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to heed a warning.

14The youth may have come from prison to the kingship, or he may have been born in poverty within his kingdom.

15I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed the youth, the king’s successor.

16There was no end to all the people who were before them. But those who came later were not pleased with the successor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
