King James Version

Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
Ecclesiastes 4:13, KJV

Ecclesiastes 4:13 in context

11Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?

12And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

13Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.

14For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor.

15I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
