5
Divinations and omens and dreams are folly, and like a woman in travail the mind has fancies.
6
Unless they are sent from the Most High as a visitation, do not give your mind to them.
7
For dreams have deceived many, and those who put their hope in them have failed.
8
Without such deceptions the law will be fulfilled, and wisdom is made perfect in truthful lips.
9
An educated man knows many things, and one with much experience will speak with understanding.
