Wisdom 14:29-31

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²⁹ for because they trust in lifeless idols
they swear wicked oaths and expect to suffer no harm.
³⁰ But just penalties will overtake them on two counts:
because they thought wrongly about God in devoting themselves to idols,
and because in deceit they swore unrighteously through contempt for holiness.
³¹ For it is not the power of the things by which people swear,^[a]
but the just penalty for those who sin,
that always pursues the transgression of the unrighteous.
