Never have I been so sensible of how vain a
creature man is, what a leaf driven by the wind, what dry stubble,
what poor dust, a bubble, a shadow, a nothing, and more vain than
nothing!
And never have I been so sensible of what a vain and vile and helpless creature I am, and how much I need God's help in everything.
And never have I been so sensible of what a vain and vile and helpless creature I am, and how much I need God's help in everything.
