This also is vanity. 11 Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed quickly, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

This is also vanity and vexation of spirit. 5 The fool folds his hands together, and eats his own flesh. 6 Better is a handful with quietness than both hands full, with toil and vexation of spirit. 7 Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun. 8 There is one alone, without a second; yes, he has neither child nor brother, yet there is no end to all his labor, nor is his eye satisfied with riches, nor does he ask, 'For whom do I labor and deprive my soul of good?' This is also vanity, yes, it is a grievous toil.
  • Eccl 7:15 : 15 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity; there is a just man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his wickedness.
