Ecclesiastes 4:14
King James VersionSource notes
“For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also born in his kingdom becometh poor.”
Context
11Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm
12And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
13Better a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
14For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also born in his kingdom becometh poor.
15I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
16no end of all the people, of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also vanity and vexation of spirit.
