13BetterH2896is a poorH4542 and a wiseH2450 childH3206 than an oldH2205 and foolishH3684 kingH4428, who willH3045 no longer be admonishedH2094.1 14For out of prisonH631H1004 he comethH3318 to reignH4427; though also he that is bornH3205 in his kingdomH4438 becometh poorH7326. 15I consideredH7200 all the livingH2416 who walkH1980 under the sunH8121, with the secondH8145 childH3206 that shall stand upH5975 in his stead. 16There is no endH7093 of all the peopleH5971, even of all that have been beforeH6440 them: they also that come afterH314 shall not rejoiceH8055 in him. Surely this also is vanityH1892 and vexationH7475 of spiritH7307.
