Ecclesiastes 4:13
KJV:
Better [is] a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
BSB:
Better is a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to take a warning.
Hebrew:
ט֛וֹב יֶ֥לֶד מִסְכֵּ֖ן וְחָכָ֑ם מִמֶּ֤לֶךְ זָקֵן֙ וּכְסִ֔יל אֲשֶׁ֛ר לֹא־ יָדַ֥ע לְהִזָּהֵ֖ר עֽוֹד׃
