There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 4 of Ecclesiastes. The scene of a poor and wise youth rising to prominence over an old king who no longer accepts advice demonstrates the instability of power and public recognition. A multitude may follow a new ruler and later abandon his successors. The episode illustrates that even political prestige depends on changing circumstances. Power, popularity, and succession do not provide permanent security.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
