  2. Ecclesiastes 5:3,7,19
    [3]For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.
    [7]For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.
    [19]Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
