Sirach 34:1 In-Context

1 Senseless people have empty and false hopes, and dreams excite fools.

2 Those who pay attention to dreams are just like people who grasp at a shadow or pursue the wind.

3 What one sees in a dream is a reflection, a face looking at its own likeness.

4 What will be made clean from something unclean? And what will be true of something false?

5 Divinations, omens, and dreams are empty. The mind has fantasies, just like a woman in labor does.
