Ecclesiastes 4:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ The young man might have come from prison to become king. Or he might have been born poor within the kingdom but still became king. ¹⁵ I saw that everyone was following the young man who had become the new king. ¹⁶ At first, all the people served him when he became king. But those who came later weren’t pleased with the way he was ruling. That doesn’t have any meaning either. It’s like chasing the wind.
