The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.
Ver. 11. The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity] Or worse; that they are ever weaving spiders' webs, or else hatching cockatrices' eggs, Isaiah 59:5. This sentence St Paul allegeth against the world's wizards, 1 Corinthians 3:20, who, the wiser they were the vainer they were, Romans 1:21. As Austin, writing to a man of great parts, saith, Ornari abs te Diabolus quaerit, The devil would fain be tricked up by thee.
