13BetterH2896 is a poorH4542 and wiseH2450 youthH3206 thanH3808 an oldH2205 and foolishH3684 kingH4428, who knoweth notH3808 howH834 to receive admonition anyH5750 moreH5750. 14For outH3318 of prisonH1004 he cameH3318 forthH3318 to be kingH4427; yeaH3588, evenH1571 in his kingdomH4438 he was bornH3205 poorH7326. 15I sawH7200 allH3605 the livingH2416 whichH834 walkH1980 underH8478 the sunH8121, that they were with the youthH3206, the secondH8145, that stoodH5975 upH7200 in his steadH8478. 16There was noH3808 endH7093 of allH3605 the peopleH5971, evenH1571 of allH3605 them over whomH834 he was: yet they that comeH1961 afterH7093 shall notH3808 rejoiceH8055 in him. SurelyH3588 this also is vanityH1892 and a strivingH7475 afterH7093 windH7307.
