Ecclesiastes 4:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ Better is a child that is poor and wise, than a king that is old and foolish, who knoweth not to foresee for hereafter.

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.
