Ecclesiastes 4:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 Better is a poor and wise child, than an old and foolish King, which will no more be admonished.
14 For out of the [a]prison he cometh forth to reign: when as he that is [b]born in his kingdom, is made poor.
15 I beheld all the living, which walk under the Sun [c]with the second child, which shall stand up in his place.
