Wisdom 15:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁵ For they thought that all their heathen idols were gods,
though these have neither the use of their eyes to see with,
nor nostrils with which to draw breath,
nor ears with which to hear,
nor fingers to feel with,
and their feet are of no use for walking.
¹⁶ For a human being made them,
and one whose spirit is borrowed formed them;
for none can form gods that are like themselves.
¹⁷ People are mortal, and what they make with lawless hands is dead;
for they are better than the objects they worship,
since^[a] they have life, but the idols^[b] never had.
