Ecclesiastes 4:13-16
English Standard Version
13 Better was (A)a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who no longer knew how (B)to take advice. 14 For he went (C)from prison to the throne, though in his own kingdom he had been born poor. 15 I saw all the living who move about under the sun, along with that[a] youth who was to stand in the king's[b] place. 16 There was no end of all the people, all of whom he led. Yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is (D)vanity and a striving after wind.

Ecclesiastes 4:13-16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
13 Better is a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer pays attention to warnings.(A) 14 For he came from prison to be king,(B) even though he was born poor in his kingdom. 15 I saw all the living, who move about under the sun, follow[a] a second youth who succeeds him. 16 There is no limit to all the people who were before them, yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.(C)
