Gill's Notes on the Bible
For in the multitude of dreams, and many words, [there are] also [divers] vanities,.... Or as, "in a multitude of dreams, [there are] many vanities, [so] also in a multitude of words" s; as dreams are vain things, or there are abundance of vain things that come into the mind in dreams; so vain and idle are the many excuses which are made for the non-performance of vows; or there are many vain things which are uttered in making of them, or in long prayers to God; or in discourses concerning him; to all which is opposed the fear of God;
but fear thou God; give no heed to dreams, nor to the many words of men, which are vain and foolish; but keep close to the word of God, and worship him internally and externally, in spirit and in truth; for herein lies the sum and substance of religion; see Ecclesiastes 12:13; The Targum is,
"for in the multitude of the dreams of the false prophets believe not, nor in the vanities of the authors of enchantments, and the many speeches of ungodly men; but serve the wise and just, and of them seek doctrine, and fear before the Lord;''
see Jeremiah 23:28;
s So Luther, Broughton, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Gejerus.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
For ... vanities - Or, For so it happens through many dreams and vanities and many words.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ecclesiastes 5:7. 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, l do not fear thee.
