Eclesiastés 4

Better is a boy, poor and wise, than a king, old and foolish, who does not know to look ahead for the sake of posterity.

Mejor es el muchacho pobre y sabio, que el rey viejo y fatuo que no sabe ser aconsejado.

Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.

Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who doesn’t know how to receive admonition any more.
