Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity.
What has a man from all the toil and striving of heart with which he toils beneath the sun?
For all his days are full of sorrow, and his work is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity.

My strength fails because of my iniquity,
and my bones waste away.
