Ecclesiastes 4:13-16

[13] Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king, who will no longer take advice,
[14] even though he had gone from prison to the throne or in his own kingdom had been born poor.
[15] I saw all the living who move about under the sun, as well as that youth, who was to stand in his place;
[16] there was no end of all the people; he was over all of them. Yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.
