Let him not trust in vanity.
The word which we render Vanity, 1is not Habel used by Solomon (Eccles. 1.2.) Vanity of vanities, which signifies only a light thing, such as is a vapour rising from the earth, a bubble swelling out of, and floating a little upon the water, or more strictly, a puff or breath of the mouth; but it signifies rashness, falseness, a lye, a deceit; vain things are false, lying, and deceivable; therefore, one word serves for both.
