Bonaventure, on Ps 38:6

“Behold thou hast made my days measurable: and my substance is as nothing before thee. And indeed all things are vanity: every man living.”

“Adam passed over from truth to vanity. Hence in the Psalm: "A phantom only, man goes his ways; like vapor only are his restless pursuits; he heaps up stores, and knows not who will use them." For as long as vain, transitory, passing good is loved, man is "passing over." And such passing over Wisdom reproves. This passing over is the cause of every evil.”
