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"
(Ec 10:14),
[HOLDEN and WEISS]. But
Ec 5:7
implies that the "dream" is not a comparison, but the vain thoughts
of the fool (sinner,
Ps 73:20),
arising from multiplicity of (worldly) "business." His "dream" is that
God hears him for his much speaking
(Mt 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."
