Ecclesiastes 4:15

---

← Ecclesiastes 4:14	Ecclesiastes 4:15 (KJV)	Ecclesiastes 4:16 →
For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also [he that is] born in his kingdom becometh poor.	I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.	[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.
