Wisdom 14:20-22

Wycliffe Bible

²⁰ Soothly the multitude of men, deceived by the fairness of (the) work, guessed [or esteemed] him now a god, that was honoured as a man before that time.

²¹ And this was the deceit of man’s life; for why men serving greatly, either to affection, either to kings, putted to stones and trees the name that may not be communed, (or communicated). [And this was deceiving of man’s life; for to affection, or to king’s men deserving, the uncommunicable name to stones and trees they put.]

²² And it sufficed not, that they erred about the cunning (or the knowing) of God; but also they living in great battle of uncunning, call so many and so great evils peace.
