Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 34:5

μαντεῖαι καὶ οἰωνισμοὶ καὶ ἐνύπνια μάταιά ἐστι, καὶ ὡς ὠδινούσης φαντάζεται καρδία.
King James Version (KJV)

Divinations, and soothsayings, and dreams, are vain: and the heart fancieth, as a woman's heart in travail.

Modern English

Fortune-telling, omens, and dreams are empty things; the mind imagines things like a woman in labor.
