Ecclesiastes 4:13-16
The Futility of Power

13 Better [is] a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.

13:

14 For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also [he that is] born in his kingdom becometh poor.

14:

15 I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.

15:

16 [There is] no end of all the people, [even] of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.

16:
