Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 34:1-4 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

1. Foolish people are deceived by vain hopes, and dreams get them all excited.

2. A person who pays any attention at all to dreams is like someone who tries to catch shadows or chase the wind.

3. What you see in a dream is no more real than the reflection of your face in a mirror.

4. What is unreal can no more produce something real than what is dirty can produce something clean.
