Do you use vain words? Are you vain in general? Do you think everything is about you? Remember the old worldly song that said I bet you think this song is about you, don't you, you're so vain. The word says being vain or using vain words brings the wrath of God down on you. That you are disobedient. I know I will watch my words more closely, will you?
