Ecclesiastes 1:2

“Futility of futilities,” says the Teacher, “futility of futilities! Everything is futile!”

Note Literally vapor or breath; the Hebrew words translated in Ecclesiastes as forms of futile or fleeting can also be translated as vanity or meaningless.

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

“Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher; “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.”

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; vanity of vanities, all is vanity.
