Ecclesiastes 4:13-16

¹³Better is a child poor but wise, than a king old and foolish, who will no more be admonished.

¹⁴For out of prison cometh forth such a one to reign; for in his own kingdom he was born a poor man.

¹⁵I saw that all the living, who walk under the sun, were with the child who stood up in his stead.

¹⁶There was no end to all the people before whom he went forth; yet they that come afterwards shall not rejoice in him. This also is vanity, and striving after wind.
