3. As much "business," engrossing the mind, gives birth to incoherent "dreams," so many words, uttered inconsiderately in prayer, give birth to and betray "a fool's speech" ( :- ), [HOLDEN and WEISS]. But :- implies that the "dream" is not a comparison, but the vain thoughts of the fool (sinner, :- ), arising from multiplicity of (worldly) "business." His "dream" is that God hears him for his much speaking ( :- ), independently of the frame of mind [ English Version and MAURER]. fool's voice —answers to "dream" in the parallel; it comes by the many "words" flowing from the fool's "dream." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-4" class="com-number"
