Ecclesiastes 4:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ Because out of prison and chains sometimes a man cometh forth to a kingdom: and another born king is consumed with poverty.

¹⁵ I saw all men living, that walk under the sun with the second young man, who shall rise up in his place.

¹⁶ The number of the people, of all that were before him is infinite: and they that shall come afterwards, shall not rejoice in him: but this also is vanity, and vexation of spirit.
