Ecclesiastes 4:15-16
International Standard Version
15 I observed everyone who lives and walks on earth, along with the youth[a] who will take the king’s[b] place. 16 There was no end to all of his subjects[c] or to all of the people who had come before them. But those who come along afterward will not be happy with him. This is also pointless and a chasing after wind.

Ecclesiastes 4:15-16
New International Version
15 I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed the youth, the king’s successor. 16 There was no end to all the people who were before them. But those who came later were not pleased with the successor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
