⁷With many dreams come vanities

and a multitude of words; but fear God.

Too many visions

May lead you to confusion

No visionary

In a single dream

With passion for God’s design

Will bring fulfillment

In all directions

One attempts to go at once

From an explosion

Words cannot explain

The many dreams that enter

One’s head in the night

Without foundation

Dreams create the illusion

Of reality

While one must dream to form goals and determine direction, too many aspirations can produce a catatonic lifestyle.

6 Do not let your mouth lead you into sin, and do not say before

the messenger that it was a mistake; why should God be angry at your words, and destroy the work of your hands?

Cautionary words

Calling one to speak clearly

Can be confusing

What powers have words

That when spoken anger God

Who’s controlling who

Sticks and stones break bones

But words will never hurt me

Wrong, they can kill you

Honesty in speech

Immeasurable value

Between life and death

Often the Bible

It seems to me presents God

As some big bully

Language, a gift from God—we abuse, misuse, and confuse it, reeking
evil; and, too often, we fail to use it, when it might effect good.
