Ecclesiastes 4:14-16

New Century Version

¹⁴ A boy became king. He had been born poor in the kingdom and had even gone to prison before becoming king. ¹⁵ I watched all the people who live on earth follow him and make him their king. ¹⁶ Many followed him at first, but later, they did not like him, either. So fame and power are useless, like chasing the wind.
