Vanity
I am afraid of all my sufferings; I know that You will not hold me innocent.
If I am condemned, Why then do I labor in vain?
f I wash myself with snow water, And cleanse my hands with soap,
Yet You will plunge me into the pit, And my own clothes will abhor me.
Job 9:28-31 (NKJV)
How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remained falsehood?

Prov 30:9 (NKJV)
All the labor of man is for his mouth, And yet the soul is not satisfied.
For what more has the wise man than the fool? What does the poor man have, Who knows how to walk before the living?
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of desire. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.
Whatever one is, he has been named already, For it is known that he is man; And he cannot contend with Him who is mightier than he.
Since there are many things that increase vanity, How is man the better?
For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he passes like a shadow? Who can tell a man what will happen after him under the sun?

Isaiah 30:7 (KJV)
I have not spoken in secret, In a dark place of the earth; I did not say to the seed of Jacob, 'Seek Me in vain'; I, the Lord, speak righteousness, I declare these things that are right.

They have no knowledge, Who carry the wood of their carved image, And pray to a god that cannot save.
Tell and bring forth your case; Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has declared this since ancient times? Who has told it from that time? Have not I, the Lord? And there is no other God besides Me, A just God and a Savior; There is none besides Me.
Isaiah 45:19-21 (NKJV)
In vain have I smitten your children, they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?
