1 The hopes of a man that is void of understanding are vain and deceitful: and dreams lift up fools.
·
2 The man that giveth heed to lying visions, is like to him that catcheth at a shadow, and followeth after the wind.
·
3 The vision of dreams is the resemblance of one thing to another: as when a man’s likeness is before the face of a man.
·
4 What can be made clean by the unclean? and what truth can come from that which is false?
·
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.
·
16 He that feareth the Lord shall tremble at nothing, and shall not be afraid for he is his hope.
·
17 The soul of him that feareth the Lord is blessed.
·
18 To whom doth he look, and who in his strength?
·
19 The eyes of the Lord are upon them that fear him, he is their powerful protector, and strong stay, a defence from the heat, and a cover from the sun at noon,
·
20 A preservation from stumbling, and a help from falling; he raiseth up the soul, and enlighteneth the eyes, and giveth health, and life, and blessing.
·
21 The offering of him that sacrificeth of a thing wrongfully gotten, is stained, and the mockeries of the unjust are not acceptable.
·
22 The Lord is only for them that wait upon him in the way of truth and justice.
·
23 The most High approveth not the gifts of the wicked: neither hath he respect to the oblations of the unjust, nor will he be pacified for sins by the multitude of their sacrifices.
·
24 He that offereth sacrifice of the goods of the poor, is as one that sacrificeth the son in the presence of his father.
·
25 The bread of the needy, is the life of the poor: he that defraudeth them thereof, is a man of blood.
·
26 He that taketh away the bread gotten by sweat, is like him that killeth his neighbour.
·
27 He that sheddeth blood, and he that defraudeth the labourer of his hire, are brothers.
·
28 When one buildeth up, and another pulleth down: what profit have they but the labour?
·
29 When one prayeth, and another curseth: whose voice will God hear?
·
30 He that washeth himself after touching the dead, if he toucheth him again, what doth his washing avail?
·
31 So a man that fasteth for his sins, and doth the same again, what doth his humbling himself profit him? who will hear his prayer?
