Ecclesiastes 4:16

No end — This humour of the common people hath no end, but passes from one generation to another. Before them — Before the present generation. And so here are three generations of people noted, the authors of the present change, and their parents, and their children; and all are observed to have the same inclinations. In him — They shall be as weary of the successor, though a wise and worthy prince, as their parents were of his foolish predecessor.
