1 The hopes of a man void of understanding are vain and false: And dreams lift up fools.
·
2 Whoso regardeth dreams Is like him that catcheth at a shadow, And followeth after the wind.
·
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 oftentimes 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.
·
14 Whoso feareth the Lord shall not fear Nor be afraid; for he is his hope.
·
15 Blessed is the soul of him that feareth the Lord: To whom doth he look? And who is his strength?
·
16 For the eyes of the Lord are upon them that love him, He is their mighty protection and strong stay, A defense from heat, and a cover from the sun at noon, A preservation from stumbling, and a help from falling;
·
17 He raiseth up the soul, and lighteneth the eyes: He giveth health, life, and blessing.
·
18 He that sacrificeth of a thing wrongfully gotten, his offering is ridiculous; And the gifts of unjust men are not accepted.
·
19 The most High is not pleased with the offerings of the wicked; Neither is he pacified for sin by the multitude of sacrifices.
·
20 Whoso bringeth an offering of the goods of the poor Doeth as one that killeth the son before his father’s eyes.
·
21 The bread of the needy is their life: He that defraudeth him thereof is a man of blood.
·
22 He that taketh away his neighbor’s living slayeth him; And he that defraudeth the laborer his hire is a bloodshedder.
·
23 When one buildeth, and another pulleth down, What profit have they then but labor?
·
24 When one prayeth, and another curseth, Whose voice will the Lord hear?
·
25 He that washeth himself after the touching of a dead body, if he touch it again, What availeth his washing?
·
26 So is it with a man that fasteth for his sins, And goeth again, and doeth the same: Who will hear his prayer? Or what doth his humbling profit him?
