Sirach 34:4LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 4 of 31

"What can be made clean by the unclean? and what truth can come from that which is false?"
Sirach 34:4

In context

2The man that giveth heed to lying visions, is like to him that catcheth at a shadow, and followeth after the wind.

3The vision of dreams is the resemblance of one thing to another: as when a man’s likeness is before the face of a man.

4What can be made clean by the unclean? and what truth can come from that which is false?

5Deceitful divinations and lying omens and the dreams of evildoers, are vanity:

6And the heart fancieth as that of a woman in travail: except it be a vision sent forth from the most High, set no thy heart upon them.
