1. Vain and false hopes are for a man void of understanding; And dreams give wings to fools.
2. As one that catches at a shadow, and follows after the wind, So is he that sets his mind on dreams.
3. The vision of dreams is as this thing against that, The likeness of a face over against a face.
4. Of an unclean thing what shall be cleansed? And of that which is false what shall be true?
5. Divinations, and soothsayings, and dreams, are vain: And the heart fancies, as a woman’s in travail.
6. If they be not sent from the Most High in your visitation, Give not your heart to them.
7. For dreams have led many astray: And they have failed by putting their hope in them.
8. Without lying shall the law be accomplished; And wisdom is perfection to a faithful mouth.
9. A well-instructed man knows many things; And he that has much experience will declare understanding.
10. He that has no experience knows few things: But he that has wandered shall increase his skill.
11. In my wandering I have seen many things; And more than my words is my understanding.
12. Ofttimes was I in danger even to death; And I was preserved because of these things.
13. The spirit of those that fear the Lord shall live; For their hope is upon him that saves them.
