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 sine 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?
