1
THE hopes of a man that is void of understanding are vain and deceitful: and dreams lift up fools.
2
The man that giveth heed to lying visions, is like to him that catcheth at a shadow, and followeth after the wind.
3
The vision of dreams is the resemblance of one thing to another: as when a man's likeness is before the face of a man.
4
What can be made clean by the unclean? and what truth can come from that which is false?
5
Deceitful divinations and lying omens and the dreams of evildoers, are vanity:
6
And the heart fancieth as that of a woman in travail: except it be a vision sent forth from the most High, set no thy heart upon them.
7
For dreams have deceived many, and they have failed that put their trust in them.
8
The word of the law shall be fulfilled without a lie, and wisdom shall be made plain in the mouth of the faithful.
9
What doth he know, that hath not been tried? A man that hath much experience, shall think of many things: and he that hath learned many things, shall shew forth understanding.
10
He that hath no experience, knoweth little: and he that hath been experienced in many things, multiplieth prudence.
