Ecclesiastes 4:13-15

New American Standard Bible

¹³ A ^(A)poor yet wise youth is better than an old and foolish king who no longer knows how to receive ^[a]instruction— ¹⁴ for he has come ^(B)out of prison to become king, even though he was born poor in his kingdom. ¹⁵ I have seen all those living under the sun move to the side of the second youth who ^[b]replaces him.
