TDNT Reference: 4:523,571
Strong's Number G3155 matches the Greek μάτην (matēn),
which occurs 19 times in 18 verses
in the LXX Greek.
Ahab said to Elijah, “So, my enemy, you’ve found me, have you? ”
He replied, “I have found you because you devoted yourself to do what is evil in the LORD’s sight.
“Yes, a person goes about like a mere shadow.
Indeed, they rush around in vain,
gathering possessions
without knowing who will get them.
“You discipline a person with punishment for iniquity,
consuming like a moth what is precious to him;
yes, every human being is only a vapor.Selah
When one of them comes to visit, he speaks deceitfully;
he stores up evil in his heart;
he goes out and talks.
Unless the LORD builds a house,
its builders labor over it in vain;
unless the LORD watches over a city,
the watchman stays alert in vain.
In vain you get up early and stay up late,
working hard to have enough food —
yes, he gives sleep to the one he loves.[fn]
I am the LORD, who watches over it
to water it regularly.
So that no one disturbs it,
I watch over it night and day.
“And I will make justice the measuring line
and righteousness the mason’s level.”
Hail will sweep away the false refuge,
and water will flood your hiding place.
“Look, all of them are a delusion;[fn]
their works are nonexistent;
their images are wind and emptiness.
I have struck down your children in vain;
they would not accept discipline.
Your own sword has devoured your prophets
like a ravaging lion.
And you, devastated one, what are you doing
that you dress yourself in scarlet,
that you adorn yourself with gold jewelry,
that you enhance your eyes with makeup?
You beautify yourself for nothing.
Your lovers reject you;
they intend to take your life.
“How can you claim, ‘We are wise;
the law of the LORD is with us’?
In fact, the lying pen of scribes
has produced falsehood.
