Psalms 94:11

יְֽהוָה יֹדֵעַ מַחְשְׁבוֹת אָדָם כִּי-הֵמָּה הָֽבֶל׃
11
The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

Colossians 2:8

βλέπετε μή τις ὑμᾶς ἔσται ὁ συλαγωγῶν διὰ τῆς φιλοσοφίας καὶ κενῆς ἀπάτης κατὰ τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν ἀνθρώπων κατὰ τὰ στοιχεῖα τοῦ κόσμου καὶ οὐ κατὰ Χριστόν·
8
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Romans 1:21

διότι γνόντες τὸν θεὸν οὐχ ὡς θεὸν ἐδόξασαν ἢ εὐχαρίστησαν ἀλλ' ἐματαιώθησαν ἐν τοῖς διαλογισμοῖς αὐτῶν καὶ ἐσκοτίσθη ἡ ἀσύνετος αὐτῶν καρδία
21
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Job 11:11

כִּי-הוּא יָדַע מְתֵי-שָׁוְא וַיַּרְא-אָוֶן וְלֹא יִתְבּוֹנָֽן׃
11
For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?

Psalms 2:1

לָמָּה רָגְשׁוּ גוֹיִם וּלְאֻמִּים יֶהְגּוּ-רִֽיק׃
1
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
