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.
11
He that hath not been tried, what manner of things doth he know? he that hath been surprised, shall abound with subtlety.
12
I have seen many things by travelling, and many customs of things.
13
Sometimes I have been in danger of death for these things, and I have been delivered by the grace of God.
14
The spirit of those that fear God; is sought after, and by his regard shall be blessed.
15
For their hope is on him that saveth them, and the eyes of God are upon them that love him.
