Ecclesiastes 4:15

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed this second one, the youth who succeeded the king.

In context

13 Better is a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to take a warning.

14 For the youth has come from the prison to the kingship, though he was born poor in his own kingdom.

15 I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed this second one, the youth who succeeded the king.

16 There is no limit to all the people who were before them. Yet the successor will not be celebrated by those who come even later. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
