"Vanity Of Vanities! All Is Vanity!"

The world is an old nut which we crack!

(Thomas Manton, 1620-1677)

"Vanity of vanities! All is vanity!" 
Ecclesiastes 1:2

Without GOD, the world is an old 

nut which we crack, but find

nothing in it but dust!

"When I surveyed all that my hands
had done and what I had toiled to
achieve, everything was meaningless,
a chasing after the wind; nothing was
gained under the sun!" Ecclesiastes 2:11

"Naked a man comes from his mother's 
womb, and as he comes, so he departs. 
He takes nothing from his labor that 
he can carry in his hand." Ecclesiastes 5:15
