⇔ they tell deceitful dreams and give empty comfort,
⇔ so they wander like sheep and suffer because there is no shepherd.

FBV Household idols give worthless answers, fortune-tellers tell lies, while interpreters of dreams just make things up and offer only false hope. As a result, people wander aimlessly like sheep, suffering because there is no shepherd.
T4T What people think that the idols in their houses suggest is only nonsense,
⇔ and people who say that they can interpret dreams tell only lies.
