“Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.”
"Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself, for emptiness will be his recompense." Eliphaz warns against false confidence. The wicked person who trusts in illusion will receive illusion as return. The verse suggests that the wicked person is already self-deluded; retribution is merely the clarification of this delusion. Emptiness entered, emptiness received.
