Dreams, divinations, and omens are described as unreliable and foolish. They can be as unpredictable and misleading as the thoughts that come during childbirth, which are often intense and fleeting. This imagery suggests that relying on such things for guidance is not wise, as they do not provide a firm foundation for decision-making. Instead, the passage encourages seeking wisdom and understanding from more reliable sources. It highlights the importance of discernment and the need to ground our lives in truth rather than being swayed by every passing sign or dream. By focusing on wisdom and discernment, we can make decisions that are more aligned with truth and stability, rather than being led astray by unreliable sources. This encourages a life grounded in faith and wisdom, seeking guidance from God and His teachings rather than the uncertain and often misleading signs of the world.
Divinations and omens and dreams are folly, and like a woman in travail, the mind has fancies.
