Ecclesiastes 4:15 Context
13¶ Better is a poore and a wise child, then an old and foolish king who will no more be admonished. 14For out of prison hee commeth to raigne, whereas also he that is borne in his kingdome, becommeth poore. 15I considered all the liuing which walke vnder the sunne, with the second child that shall stand vp in his stead. 16There is no end of all the people, euen of all that haue beene before them: they also that come after, shall not reioyce in him: surely this also is vanitie, and vexation of spirit.
