Sirach 34:3 CPDV

¹  The hopes of a senseless man are empty and false; and dreams extol the imprudent.

²  Like one who chases a shadow and pursues the wind, so also is one who pays attention to lying visions.

³  In the vision of dreams, one thing represents another, as when a mask is before the face of a man.

⁴  What can be cleansed by the unclean? And what truth can be spoken from a lie?

⁵  Erroneous divinations and false signs and the dreams of evildoers are emptiness.
