Ecclesiastes:4:13-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Better a boy poor and wise ,
than a king ,
old and stupid ,
who knoweth not how to take warning any longer .
*
For ,
out of prison ,
came he forth to reign ,
yea ,
even in his own kingdom ,
was he born poor .
*
I saw all the living ,
who were going hither and thither under the sun ,
with the boy who was to be the second ,
who was to stand in the others place :
*
There was no end to all the people ,
to all before whom he came ,
yet ,
they who should come later ,
would not rejoice in him ,
surely ,
even this ,
was vanity ,
and a feeding on wind .
