Wisdom of Solomon 14:24-29

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁴ they no longer keep either their lives or their marriages pure,
but they either treacherously kill one another or grieve one another by adultery,
²⁵ and all is a raging riot of blood and murder, theft and deceit, corruption, faithlessness, tumult, perjury,^(A)
26 confusion over what is good, forgetfulness of favors,
defiling of souls, sexual perversion,
disorder in marriages, adultery, and debauchery.^(B)
27 For the worship of idols not to be named
is the beginning and cause and end of every evil.^(C)
28 For their worshipers^[a] either rave in exultation
or prophesy lies or live unrighteously or readily commit perjury,^(D)
29 for because they trust in lifeless idols
they swear wicked oaths and expect to suffer no harm.^(E)
