Ecclesiastes 4:13-16

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

14For he came out of prison to become king—though he was born poor in his kingdom.

15I considered all the living that walk under the sun as well as the next youth who stands in his place.

16There is no end to all the people—to all who were before him. Also those who will come later will not rejoice in him. Surely this too is meaningless and striving after the wind.
