Ecclesiastes Chapter 4 verses 13 thru 16

Ecc 4:13 It is better to be a poor but wise youth than an old and foolish king who refuses all advice. Ecc 4:14 Such a youth could rise from poverty and succeed. He might even become king, though he has been in prison. Ecc 4:15 But then everyone rushes to the side of yet another youth who replaces him. Ecc 4:16 Endless crowds stand around him, but then another generation grows up and rejects him, too. So it is all meaningless—like chasing the wind.
