5:7a For as many dreams bring futility, so do many words.

Much dreaming and too much talking are pointless.
-or-
If you dream all the time or if you talk all the time, that has no purpose. (EEB)

5:7b Therefore, fear God.

But you should be afraid ⌊to treat⌋ God ⌊that way⌋ .
-or-
But you ⌊should⌋ respect God.

5:7a-b (combined)

There are so many dreams, mysteries, and words, but much dreaming and talk is pointless. However, you should respect God.
-or-
There are certainly many dreams, questions of meaning, and lots of different ideas. But first of all you should honor God.
