vanity
Ecclesiastes 1:2-10: "Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher,
vanity of vanities; all is vanity. What profit hath a man of all
his labour which he taketh under the sun? One generation passeth
away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for
ever. The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth
to his place where he arose. The wind goeth toward the south, and
turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and
the wind returneth again according to his circuits. All the
rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place
from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. All
things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not
satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. The thing
that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done
is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the
sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new?
it hath been already of old time, which was before us."
