Ecclesiastes 4:15-16
New Catholic Bible
15 And I observed all those who live and move under the sun willingly give their support to that young man who succeeded the king.[a] 16 There was a mass of people beyond counting over whom he reigned. And yet those who succeed him will not venerate his memory. This also is vanity and a chase after the 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.
