1 (KJV) The hopes of a man void of understanding are vain and false: and dreams lift up fools.
1 ----

2 (KJV) Whoso regardeth dreams is like him that catcheth at a shadow, and followeth after the wind.

3 (KJV) The vision of dreams is the resemblance of one thing to another, even as the likeness of a face to a face.
3 ----

4 (KJV) Of an unclean thing what can be cleansed? and from that thing which is false what truth can come?
4 ----

5 (KJV) Divinations, and soothsayings, and dreams, are vain: and the heart fancieth, as a woman's heart in travail.

6 (KJV) If they be not sent from the most High in thy visitation, set not thy heart upon them.
6 ----

7 (KJV) For dreams have deceived many, and they have failed that put their trust in them.
7 ----

8 (KJV) The law shall be found perfect without lies: and wisdom is perfection to a faithful mouth.
8 ----

9 (KJV) A man that hath travelled knoweth many things; and he that hath much experience will declare wisdom.
9 ----

10 (KJV) He that hath no experience knoweth little: but he that hath travelled is full of prudence.
10 ----

11 (KJV) When I travelled, I saw many things; and I understand more than I can express.
11 ----

12 (KJV) I was ofttimes in danger of death: yet I was delivered because of these things.

13 (KJV) The spirit of those that fear the Lord shall live; for their hope is in him that saveth them.
13 ----

14 (KJV) Whoso feareth the Lord shall not fear nor be afraid; for he is his hope.
14 ----

15 (KJV) Blessed is the soul of him that feareth the Lord: to whom doth he look? and who is his strength?
15 ----

16 (KJV) 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.
16 ----

17 (KJV) He raiseth up the soul, and lighteneth the eyes: he giveth health, life, and blessing.
17 ----

18 (KJV) He that sacrificeth of a thing wrongfully gotten, his offering is ridiculous; and the gifts of unjust men are not accepted.

21 (KJV) The bread of the needy is their life: he that defraudeth him thereof is a man of blood.

24 (KJV) When one prayeth, and another curseth, whose voice will the Lord hear?
24 ----

25 (KJV) He that washeth himself after the touching of a dead body, if he touch it again, what availeth his washing?
25 ----

26 (KJV) 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?
