Wisdom 14:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ Therefore there shall be no respect had even to the idols of the Gentiles: because the creatures of God are turned to an abomination, and a temptation to the souls of men, and a snare to the feet of the unwise.

¹² For the beginning of fornication is the devising of idols: and the invention of them is the corruption of life.

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