Eclesiastes 5:3 Meaning and Commentary

Ecclesiastes 5:3

For a dream cometh through the multitude of business
Or, "for as a dream" F17, so Aben Ezra; as that comes through a multiplicity of business in the daytime, in which the mind has been busied, and the body employed; and this brings on dreams in the night season, which are confused and incoherent; sometimes the fancy is employed about one thing, and sometimes another, and all unprofitable and useless, as well as vain and foolish; and a fool's voice [is known] by multitude of words;
either his voice in conversation, for a fool is full of words, and pours out his foolishness in a large profusion of them; or his voice in prayer, being like a man's dream, confused, incoherent, and rambling. The supplement, "is known", may be left out.

Eclesiastes 5:3 In-Context

1 Guarda o teu pé, quando fores � casa de Deus; porque chegar-se para ouvir é melhor do que oferecer sacrifícios de tolos; pois não sabem que fazem mal.
2 Não te precipites com a tua boca, nem o teu coração se apresse a pronunciar palavra alguma na presença de Deus; porque Deus está no céu, e tu estás sobre a terra; portanto sejam poucas as tuas palavras.
3 Porque, da multidão de trabalhos vêm os sonhos, e da multidão de palavras, a voz do tolo.
4 Quando a Deus fizeres algum voto, não tardes em cumpri-lo; porque não se agrada de tolos. O que votares, paga-o.
5 Melhor é que não votes do que votares e nao pagares.
