7. Formal Translation For with many dreams and vanities {havalim: emptiness, futility} and many words, emptiness comes—therefore fear God {Elohim, Reverence Commander}. |
7. Dynamic Translation When dreams multiply and words increase, it remains meaningless; rather, honor God {Elohim, Worthy of Awe}. |
