The King James Version Bible

Wisdom of Solomon 14:24-27

  1. They kept neither lives nor marriages any longer undefiled: but either one slew another traiterously, or grieved him by adultery.

  2. So that there reigned in all men without exception blood, manslaughter, theft, and dissimulation, corruption, unfaithfulness, tumults, perjury,

  3. Disquieting of good men, forgetfulness of good turns, defiling of souls, changing of kind, disorder in marriages, adultery, and shameless uncleanness.

  4. For the worshipping of idols not to be named is the beginning, the cause, and the end, of all evil.
