Passage from the Bible

DREAMS Sirach 34

The foolish are deceived by vain and false hopes; dreams give them wings.
To rely on dreams is like grasping a shadow or like chasing the wind. What you see in dreams are only reflections: a person sees his own image.
What clean thing can come from what is unclean? What truth comes from what is false? Divinations, auguries and dreams are empty like the fantasies of a woman in labour.
Unless they come as messengers of the Most High do not pay attention to them. For dreams have led many people astray. Those who hoped in them have fallen.
Not so the Law, which never fails but comes true. Wisdom from the truthful lips of God is the highest truth.
One who has travelled knows a great deal, and a man of wide experience will talk soundly. A person who has not had trials knows very little. But the travelled man is competent in many ways. I have made many discoveries on my travels and understood more than I can express. I have often been in danger of death but have been saved thanks to my experience.
The spirit of those who fear the Lord will live, for their hope is placed in the One who saves.
He who fears the Lord is in dread of nothing. He will not be cowardly for He is his hope. He who fears the Lord is a happy person. To whom does he turn? Who is his support?
The eyes of the Lord are on those who love him. For them he is powerful protection, strong support, shelter against scorching wind and the midday sun. He is a guide against stumbling and assurance against a fall. He lifts up the soul and gives a sparkle to the yes; he gives healing, life and blessing.
Sirach 34:1-17

Holy Quotes of Sirach
Keeping the Law is worth of many offerings. Being faithful in keeping the commandments is a helpful sacrifice. – Sirach 35:1

The one who serves God whole-heartedly will be heard; his petition will reach the clouds. The prayer of the humble person pierces the clouds and he is not consoled until he has been heard. His prayer will not cease until the Most High has looked down, until justice has been done in favor of the righteous. – Sirach 35:16-18

In the end, keep to your own heart’s advice since no one deserves to be trusted more than your heart; For a man’s soul often gives better advice than seven watchmen placed on a height. -Sirach 37:13-14

All bribery, all injustice will disappear but good faith last forever.- sirach 40:12
A generous man has reason to rejoice whereas sinners go to their ruin. –Sirach 40:14
Kindness is like a garden of blessings and charity endures forver. –Sirach 40:17
Gold and silver make for security but good advice is better.
Wealth and strength give confidence but good counsel is more esteemed than both.
You cannot suffer a loss when you fear the Lord, with it you have all the support you need.
The fear of the Lord is like a garden of blessings; he himself put it higher than any glory.
-Sirach 40:25-28
