Wisdom of Solomon 15:17 Context
14And all the enemies of thy people, that hold them in subjection, are most foolish, and are more miserable than very babes. 15For they counted all the idols of the heathen to be gods: which neither have the use of eyes to see, nor noses to draw breath, nor ears to hear, nor fingers of hands to handle; and as for their feet, they are slow to go. 16For man made them, and he that borrowed his own spirit fashioned them: but no man can make a god like unto himself. 17For being mortal, he worketh a dead thing with wicked hands: for he himself is better than the things which he worshippeth: whereas he lived once, but they never. 18Yea, they worshipped those beasts also that are most hateful: for being compared together, some are worse than others. 19Neither are they beautiful, so much as to be desired in respect of beasts: but they went without the praise of God and his blessing.
