Wisdom 15:15-17
New Catholic Bible
15 For they regarded as gods all their heathen idols,
although these cannot use their eyes to see
or their nostrils to breathe the air.
Neither can they use their ears to hear
or the fingers on their hands to touch;
and their feet are useless for walking.
16 For it was a man who made them;
they were fashioned by one whose very breath is on loan.
For no artisan can form a god to resemble himself;
17 since he is mortal, what he is able to form with his impious hands is dead.
Thus, he is superior to the objects of his worship,
since he has the life that his idols never had.
