Definitions for Ecclesiastes 5:7
Clarke's Ecclesiastes 5:7 Bible Commentary
In - dreams - are - divers vanities; but fear thou God - If, by the disturbed state of thy mind during the day, or by Satanic influence, thou dream of evil, do not give way to any unreasonable fears, or gloomy forebodings, of any coming mischief: - Fear God. Fear neither the dream nor its interpretation; God, will take care of and protect thee. Most certainly, he that fears God need fear nothing else. Well may an upright soul say to Satan himself, I fear God; and because I fear him, I do not fear thee.
Barnes's Ecclesiastes 5:7 Bible Commentary
For ... vanities - Or, For so it happens through many dreams and vanities and many words.
Wesley's Ecclesiastes 5:7 Bible Commentary
5:7 For - There is a great deal of folly, as in multitude of dreams, which for the most part are vain and insignificant, so also in many words, in making many vows whereby a man is exposed to many snares and temptations. But - Fear the wrath of God, and therefore be sparing in making vows, and just in performing them.
