apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:1 @ The hopes of a man void of understanding are vain and false: and dreams lift up fools.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:2 @ Whoso regardeth dreams is like him that catcheth at a shadow, and followeth after the wind.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:3 @ The vision of dreams is the resemblance of one thing to another, even as the likeness of a face to a face.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:4 @ Of an unclean thing what can be cleansed? and from that thing which is false what truth can come?
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:5 @ Divinations, and soothsayings, and dreams, are vain: and the heart fancieth, as a woman's heart in travail.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:6 @ If they be not sent from the most High in thy visitation, set not thy heart upon them.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:7 @ For dreams have deceived many, and they have failed that put their trust in them.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:8 @ The law shall be found perfect without lies: and wisdom is perfection to a faithful mouth.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:9 @ A man that hath travelled knoweth many things; and he that hath much experience will declare wisdom.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:10 @ He that hath no experience knoweth little: but he that hath travelled is full of prudence.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:11 @ When I travelled, I saw many things; and I understand more than I can express.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:12 @ I was ofttimes in danger of death: yet I was delivered because of these things.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:13 @ The spirit of those that fear the Lord shall live; for their hope is in him that saveth them.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:14 @ Whoso feareth the Lord shall not fear nor be afraid; for he is his hope.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:15 @ Blessed is the soul of him that feareth the Lord: to whom doth he look? and who is his strength?
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:16 @ For the eyes of the Lord are upon them that love him, he is their mighty protection and strong stay, a defence from heat, and a cover from the sun at noon, a preservation from stumbling, and an help from falling.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:17 @ He raiseth up the soul, and lighteneth the eyes: he giveth health, life, and blessing.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:18 @ He that sacrificeth of a thing wrongfully gotten, his offering is ridiculous; and the gifts of unjust men are not accepted.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:19 @ The most High is not pleased with the offerings of the wicked; neither is he pacified for sin by the multitude of sacrifices.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:20 @ Whoso bringeth an offering of the goods of the poor doeth as one that killeth the son before his father's eyes.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:21 @ The bread of the needy is their life: he that defraudeth him thereof is a man of blood.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:22 @ He that taketh away his neighbour's living slayeth him; and he that defraudeth the labourer of his hire is a bloodshedder.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:23 @ When one buildeth, and another pulleth down, what profit have they then but labour?
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:24 @ When one prayeth, and another curseth, whose voice will the Lord hear?
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:25 @ He that washeth himself after the touching of a dead body, if he touch it again, what availeth his washing?
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:34:26 @ So is it with a man that fasteth for his sins, and goeth again, and doeth the same: who will hear his prayer? or what doth his humbling profit him?
