Ecclesiastes 4:13-16

The Fickleness of Royal Favor

Ecclesiastes 4:13-16
13
Better a youth who is poor but wise than a king who is old but foolish, no longer willing to listen to advice.
14
True, he rose from prison to be king; yet, while ruling, he became poor.
15
I observed that all who live and walk under the sun took the side of the youth mentioned first who would rule in place of the king,
16
and that no limit was set for the number of his subjects. Nevertheless, those who come afterwards will not regard him highly. This too is certainly pointless and feeding on wind.
