Job 15:31 - Exposition

Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity ; rather, let him not trust in vanity (or, in falsehood )' deceiving himself (see the Revised Version). All the supports and stays of the wicked are vanity—unsubstantial, futile, utterly vain and useless. It is only a man who "deceives himself" that can trust in them. For vanity shall be his recompense . Such as do so trust gain nothing by it; they sow vanity and reap vanity.
