Dreams Mean Nothing

34The senseless have vain and false hopes,
   and dreams give wings to fools.
² As one who catches at a shadow and pursues the wind,
   so is anyone who believes in^* dreams.
³ What is seen in dreams is but a reflection,
   the likeness of a face looking at itself.
⁴ From an unclean thing what can be clean?
   And from something false what can be true?
⁵ Divinations and omens and dreams are unreal,
   and like a woman in labour, the mind has fantasies.
⁶ Unless they are sent by intervention from the Most High,
   pay no attention to them.
⁷ For dreams have deceived many,
   and those who put their hope in them have perished.
⁸ Without such deceptions the law will be fulfilled,
   and wisdom is complete in the mouth of the faithful.

¹⁸   To whom does he look? And who is his support?
¹⁹ The eyes of the Lord are on those who love him,
   a mighty shield and strong support,
a shelter from scorching wind and a shade from noonday sun,
   a guard against stumbling and a help against falling.
²⁰ He lifts up the soul and makes the eyes sparkle;
   he gives health and life and blessing.

Offering Sacrifices

²¹ If one sacrifices ill-gotten goods, the offering is blemished;^*
22   the gifts^* of the lawless are not acceptable.
