Wisdom of Solomon 14:29

Wisdom of Solomon 14:29 Context

²⁶Disquieting of good men, forgetfulness of good turns, defiling of souls, changing of kind, disorder in marriages, adultery, and shameless uncleanness. ²⁷For the worshipping of idols not to be named is the beginning, the cause, and the end, of all evil. ²⁸For either they are mad when they be merry, or prophesy lies, or live unjustly, or else lightly forswear themselves. ²⁹For insomuch as their trust is in idols, which have no life; though they swear falsely, yet they look not to be hurt. ³⁰Howbeit for both causes shall they be justly punished: both because they thought not well of God, giving heed unto idols, and also unjustly swore in deceit, despising holiness. ³¹For it is not the power of them by whom they swear: but it is the just vengeance of sinners, that punisheth always the offence of the ungodly.
