34:1  Empty and false are the hopes of the senseless, and dreams give wings to fools.
34:2  Like one grasping at shadows or chasing the wind, so anyone who believes in dreams.
34:3  What is seen in dreams is a reflection, the likeness of a face looking at itself.
34:4  How can the unclean produce what is clean? How can the false produce what is true?
34:5  Divination, omens, and dreams are unreal; what you already expect, the mind fantasizes.
34:6  Unless they are specially sent by the Most High, do not fix your heart on them.
34:7  For dreams have led many astray, and those who put their hope in them have perished.
34:8  Without such deceptions the Law will be fulfilled, and in the mouth of the faithful is complete wisdom.
34:9  A much-traveled person knows many things; and one with much experience speaks sense.
34:10  An inexperienced person knows little,
34:11  whereas with travel one adds to resourcefulness.
34:12  I have seen much in my travels, and learned more than I could ever say.
34:13  Often I was in danger of death, but by these experiences I was saved.
34:14  Living is the spirit of those who fear the Lord,
34:15  for their hope is in their savior.
34:16  Whoever fear the Lord are afraid of nothing and are never discouraged, for he is their hope.
34:17  Happy the soul that fears the Lord!
34:18  In whom does he trust, and who is his support?
34:19  The eyes of the Lord are upon those who love him; he is their mighty shield and strong support, A shelter from the heat, a shade from the noonday sun, a guard against stumbling, a help against falling.
34:20  He lifts up spirits, brings a sparkle to the eyes, gives health and life and blessing.
34:21  Ill-gotten goods offered in sacrifice are tainted.
34:22  Presents from the lawless do not win God’s favor.
34:23  The Most High is not pleased with the gifts of the godless, nor for their many sacrifices does he forgive their sins.
34:24  One who slays a son in his father’s presence— whoever offers sacrifice from the holdings of the poor.
34:25  The bread of charity is life itself for the needy; whoever withholds it is a murderer.
34:26  To take away a neighbor’s living is to commit murder;
34:27  to deny a laborer wages is to shed blood.
34:28  If one builds up and another tears down, what do they gain but trouble?
34:29  If one prays and another curses, whose voice will God hear?
34:30  If one again touches a corpse after bathing, what does he gain by the purification?
34:31  So one who fasts for sins, but goes and commits them again: Who will hear his prayer, what is gained by mortification?
