Ecclesiastes 4:13

GNTA

NIV

13 Someone may rise from poverty to become king of his country, or go from prison to the throne, but if in his old age he is too foolish to take advice, he is not as well off as a young man who is poor but intelligent.
13 Better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to heed a warning.
