Ecclesiastes 4:14-16 New Century Version (NCV)

14. A boy became king. He had been born poor in the kingdom and had even gone to prison before becoming king.

15. I watched all the people who live on earth follow him and make him their king.

16. Many followed him at first, but later, they did not like him, either. So fame and power are useless, like chasing the wind.
