Psalms 39:6. Surely every man walketh in a vain show:
Like players, or actors, all of us are walking in a phantom show; which is not really anything, but only seems to be.
Psalms 39:6. Surely they are disquieted in vain:
They make a dreadful noise in the tumult of the battle, the din of the exchange, the hum of the streets, the fret and worry of the counting-house; but it is all in vain.
Psalms 39:6. He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
If a man does succeed in amassing wealth, it is a poor success; the muck-rake gathers, and then comes the fork that scatters. One man hoards it up, and another takes as much delight in squandering it. They think that they have entailed their estate, and that their name and house will continue as long as the sun, but it all comes to nothing. "Vanity of vanities," said the son of David, "all is vanity," and his father had said so before him.
