And it speaks of the concept of the Fragility of Life: The metaphor of life as a vapor highlights its fleeting nature and uncertainty ("For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away").

These truths reveal the grandeur of God's reign, the depths of our fallen state, and the fleeting nature of our earthly existence.
