Wisdom of Solomon 14:13-15

¹³ For neither were they from the beginning, neither shall they be for ever.

¹⁴ For by the vain glory of men they entered into the world, and therefore shall they come shortly to an end.

¹⁵ For a father afflicted with untimely mourning, when he hath made an image of his child soon taken away, now honoured him as a god, which was then a dead man, and delivered to those that were under him ceremonies and sacrifices.
