Ecclesiastes 5:3
_ _ 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” (Ecclesiastes 10:14), [Holden and Weiss]. But Ecclesiastes 5:7 implies that the “dream” is not a comparison, but the vain thoughts of the fool (sinner, Psalms 73:20), arising from multiplicity of (worldly) “business.” His “dream” is that God hears him for his much speaking (Matthew 6:7), 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.” |
Ecclesiastes 5:3
A dream — When men are oppressed with business in the day, they dream of it in the night. Is known — It discovers the man to be a foolish, and rash, and inconsiderate man. Of words — Either in prayer, or in vowing, by making many rash vows, of which he speaks Ecclesiastes 5:4-6, and then returns to the mention of multitude of dreams and many words, Ecclesiastes 5:7, which verse may be a comment upon this, and which makes it probable that both that and this verse are to be understood of vows rather than of prayers. |
- a fool's:
Ecclesiastes 10:12-14 The words of a wise man's mouth [are] gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. ... A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
Proverbs 10:19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips [is] wise.
Proverbs 15:2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
