This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

Don’t put your trust in dreams

Sir 34:1–8

34 Vain and false hopes are for a man void of understanding.

Dreams give wings to fools.

2 As one who grasps at a shadow and follows after the wind,

so is he who sets his mind on dreams.

3 The vision of dreams is a reflection,

the likeness of a face near a face.

4 From an unclean thing what can be cleansed?

From that which is false what can be true?

5 Divinations, and soothsayings, and dreams, are vain.

The heart has fantasies like a woman in labour.

6 If they are not sent in a visitation from the Most High,

don’t give your heart to them.

7 Because dreams have led many astray.

They have failed by putting their hope in them.

8 Without lying the law will be fulfilled.

Wisdom is complete in a faithful mouth.
