Eclesiastés 4

Mieux vaut un enfant pauvre et sage qu’un roi vieux et insensé qui ne sait plus écouter les avis;

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.
