Ecclesiaste 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.

Ecclesiaste 5:3 In-Context

1 Bada ai tuoi passi quando vai alla casa di Dio, e appressati per ascoltare, anziché per offrire il sacrifizio degli stolti, i quali non sanno neppure che fanno male.
2 Non esser precipitoso nel parlare, e il tuo cuore non s’affretti a proferir verbo davanti a Dio; perché Dio è in cielo e tu sei sulla terra; le tue parole sian dunque poche;
3 poiché colla moltitudine delle occupazioni vengono i sogni, e colla moltitudine delle parole, i ragionamenti insensati.
4 Quand’hai fatto un voto a Dio, non indugiare ad adempierlo; poich’egli non si compiace degli stolti; adempi il voto che hai fatto.
5 Meglio è per te non far voti, che farne e poi non adempierli.
