Ben Sira 34:3-13

3 The vision of dreams is the resemblance of one thing to another, even as the likeness of a face to a face.
4 Of an unclean thing what can be cleansed? And from that thing which is false what truth can come?
5 Divinations and soothsayings and dreams are vain; and the heart fancieth, as a woman's heart in travail.
6 If they be not sent from the Most High in thy visitation, set not thy heart upon them.
7 For dreams have deceived many, and they have failed that put their trust in them.
8 The law shall be found perfect without lies, and wisdom is perfection to a faithful mouth.
9 A man that hath traveled knoweth many things, and he that hath much experience will declare wisdom.
10 He that hath no experience knoweth little, but he that hath traveled is full of prudence.
11 When I traveled, I saw many things, and I understand more than I can express.
12 I was ofttimes in danger of death, yet I was delivered because of these things.
13 The spirit of those that fear the Lord shall live, for their hope is in Him that saveth them.
