Psalms 143:4 Man is like to vanity: *his days pass away like a shadow.

Vanity. Hebrew hebel, "nothing, a vapour," etc., Ecclesiastes 1:1., and James 4:15. (Haydock) --- Our lives resemble a shadow, which is the less distinct, the more it increases. (Berthier) --- As it cannot subsist of itself, so neither can man without God. (Worthington)
