Bible Verses about 'Vanity'
| One who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor one who loves abundance with its income. This too is futility. | He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. |
| I have seen that every labor and every skill which is done is the result of rivalry between a person and his neighbor. This too is futility and striving after wind. | Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit. |
| So remove sorrow from your heart and keep pain away from your body, because childhood and the prime of life are fleeting. | Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity. |
| Wealth obtained from nothing dwindles, But one who gathers by labor increases it. | Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. |
| Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves. | Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. |
| Keep deception and lies far from me, Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is my portion. | Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me. |
| For the customs of the peoples are futile; For it is wood cut from the forest, The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool. They decorate the idol with silver and gold; They fasten it with nails and hammers So that it will not totter. They are like a scarecrow in a cucumber field, And they cannot speak; They must be carried, Because they cannot walk! Do not fear them, For they can do no harm, Nor can they do any good. | For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. |
