Ecclesiastes 4:15 in Context — Ecclesiastes 4

13 Melhor é o jovem pobre e sábio do que o rei velho e tolo, que não sabe dar ouvidos aos conselhos,

14 porque esse [jovem] pode sair até da prisão para se tornar rei, ainda que tenha nascido pobre em seu reino.

15 Vi todos os vivos, que andam abaixo do sol, estarem com o jovem, o sucessor, que ficaria em seu lugar.

16 Não havia fim todo o povo, todo o que houve antes deles; porém os que vêm depois não se alegrarão nele. Também isso é fútil [como] perseguir o vento.
