29He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof vpon the earth. 30He shall not depart out of darkenesse, the flame shall drie vp his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he goe away. 31Let not him that is deceiued, trust in vanitie: for vanitie shalbe his recompence. 32It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not bee greene. 33He shal shake off his vnripe grape as the Uine, and shall cast off his flowre as the Oliue.

Wesley's Notes for Job 15:31
15:31 Vanity - In the vain and deceitful things of this world, he subjoins a general caution to all men to take heed of running into the same error and mischief. Vanity - Disappointment and dissatisfaction, and the loss of all his imaginary felicity. Recompence - Heb. his exchange; he shall exchange one vanity for another, a pleasing vanity for a vexatious vanity.
