Ecclesiastes 1:2-4
Evangelical Heritage Version
The Problem
2 “Nothing but vapor,”[a] Ecclesiastes said. “Totally vapor. Everything is just vapor that vanishes.”
3 What does anyone gain by all his hard work, at which he works hard under the sun? 4 A generation goes and a generation comes, but the earth keeps standing forever.

- Ecclesiastes 1:2 Other possible translations are mist, breath, futility, or emptiness. Since vapor does not last, it serves as an appropriate symbol for everything that is transient, futile, or useless.
