At the hearing of the ear they shall hear to me: sons of the stranger shall feign to me.

Jehovah made vain the counsel of the nations: he brought the purposes of the peoples to nought

Surely in a shadow a man will go about: surely they will be disquieted in vain: he will store up, and he knew not who shall gather them.

Give to us help from straits, for vain the salvation of man.

Ye shall not trust in oppression, ye shall not become vain in plunder: if wealth shall increase ye shall not set the heart

Surely in vain I cleansed my heart, and I will wash my hands in cleanness.

He will kill their vine with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost

Thou wilt remove a vine from Egypt: thou wilt cast out the nations and thou wilt plant it

In vain for you rising early to arise from after sitting; eating the bread of toils: so will he give to his beloved sleep.

Thy wife as a vine bearing fruit in the sides of thy house: thy sons as plants of olives round about thy table.
