³¹ Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.

²¹ Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

²² Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

²³ And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

²⁸ And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

¹¹ And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

¹³ But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
