Ecclesiastes 4:15 in other translations
I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed this second one, the youth who succeeded the king.
I saw all the living who walk under the sun, that they were with the youth, the other, who succeeded him.

In context
12 If a man prevails against one who is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
13 Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who doesn’t know how to receive admonition any more.
14 For out of prison he came out to be king; yes, even in his kingdom he was born poor.
15 I saw all the living who walk under the sun, that they were with the youth, the other, who succeeded him.
16 There was no end of all the people, even of all them over whom he was—yet those who come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a chasing after wind.
