Wisdom of Solomon 14:6-14
-
6 For in the old time also, when the proud giants perished, the hope of the world governed by thy hand escaped in a weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation.
-
7 For blessed is the wood whereby righteousness cometh.
-
8 But that which is made with hands is cursed, as well it, as he that made it: he, because he made it; and it, because, being corruptible, it was called god.
-
9 For the ungodly and his ungodliness are both alike hateful unto God.
-
10 For that which is made shall be punished together with him that made it.
-
11 Therefore even upon the idols of the Gentiles shall there be a visitation: because in the creature of God they are become an abomination, and stumblingblocks to the souls of men, and a snare to the feet of the unwise.
-
12 For the devising of idols was the beginning of spiritual fornication, and the invention of them the corruption of life.
-
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.
