Wisdom 14:13-15

New Catholic Bible

¹³ They did not exist at the beginning,
    and they will not last forever.
¹⁴ They entered the world as a result of human vanity,
    and therefore a speedy demise has been planned for them.
¹⁵ A father overcome with grief at an untimely death
    had an image made of the child so quickly taken from him.
And he honored as a god what was formerly a corpse
    and handed on to his household the observance of sacrifices and ceremonies.
