King James Version with Apocrypha
"For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words."
— Ecclesiastes 5:3, King James Version with Apocrypha
“For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.”
“For a dream cometh with a multitude of business, and a fool’s voice with a multitude of words. ”
“For as a dream comes with a multitude of cares, so a fool's speech with a multitude of words.”
“Just as dreams come when there are many cares, so the rash vow of a fool occurs when there are many words.”
“If thou hast vowed any thing to God, defer not to pay it: for an unfaithful and foolish promise displeaseth him: but whatsoever thou hast vowed, pay it.”
“As a dream comes from much business, so the voice of a foolish man comes with words in great number.”
Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.
When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
