Wisdom 14:20-22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
20 And the masses, drawn by the charm of the workmanship,
soon took as an object of worship the one who shortly before was honored as a human being.(A)
21 And this became a snare for the world,
that people enslaved to either grief or tyranny
conferred the incommunicable Name on stones and wood.
22 Then it was not enough for them to err in their knowledge of God;(B)
but even though they live in a great war resulting from ignorance,
they call such evils peace.(C)
