Futility

So I am allotted months of futility, and nights of misery are appointed to me.

So He ended their days in futility, and their years in sudden terror.

Remember the briefness of my lifespan! For what futility You have created all men!

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

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

Again, I saw futility under the sun.

For as many dreams bring futility, so do many words. Therefore, fear God.

For a stillborn child enters in futility and departs in darkness, and his name is shrouded in obscurity.

For the more words, the more futility—and how does that profit anyone?

There is a futility that is done on the earth: There are righteous men who get what the actions of the wicked deserve, and there are wicked men who get what the actions of the righteous deserve. I say that this too is futile.

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

But I said, “I have labored in vain, I have spent My strength in futility and vanity; yet My vindication is with the LORD, and My reward is with My God.”

“The prophets are prophesying lies in My name,” replied the LORD. “I did not send them or appoint them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a false vision, a worthless divination, the futility and delusion of their own minds.

For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope

So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.
