34:1 A man of no understanding has vain and false hopes, and
dreams give wings to fools.
34:2 As one who catches at a shadow and pursues the wind, so is
he who gives heed to dreams.
34:3 The vision of dreams is this against that, the likeness of a
face confronting a face.
34:4 From an unclean thing what will be made clean? And from
something false what will be true?
34:5 Divinations and omens and dreams are folly, and like a woman
in travail the mind has fancies.
34:6 Unless they are sent from the Most High as a visitation, do
not give your mind to them.
34:7 For dreams have deceived many, and those who put their hope
in them have failed.
34:8 Without such deceptions the law will be fulfilled, and
wisdom is made perfect in truthful lips.
34:18 If one sacrifices from what has been wrongfully obtained,
the offering is blemished; the gifts of
the lawless are not acceptable.
34:19 The Most High is not pleased with the offerings of the
ungodly; and he is not propitiated for sins by a multitude of
sacrifices.
34:20 Like one who kills a son before his father's eyes is the
man who offers a sacrifice from the property of the poor.
34:21 The bread of the needy is the life of the poor; whoever
deprives them of it is a man of blood.
34:22 To take away a neighbor's living is to murder him; to
deprive an employee of his wages is to shed blood.
