A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
The getting--or, "what is obtained" (compare Job 7:2; Jer 22:13, Hebrew).

vanity . . . to and fro--as fleeting as chaff or stubble in the wind (compare Pro 20:17-21; Psa 62:10). Such gettings are unsatisfactory.

them . . . death--act as if they did (Pro 8:36; Pro 17:19).
