Wisdom 15:3-5

Wycliffe Bible

³ For why to know thee, is perfect rightfulness; and to know thy rightfulness, and virtue, is the root of undeadliness (or immortality). [Forsooth to have known thee, is full ended rightwiseness; and to know rightwiseness, and thy virtue, root is of undeadliness.]

⁴ Forsooth the thinking out of evil craft of men brought not us into error, neither the shadow of painture travail without fruit, an image graven by diverse colours; [Forsooth not into error in-led us the out-thinking of the evil craft of men, nor the shadow of painting travail without fruit, the graven likeness by diverse colours;]

⁵ whose beholding giveth covetousness to an unwise man, and he loveth the likeness of a dead image without (a) soul. [whose sight to the unwise giveth coveting, and loveth the likeness of the dead image without soul.]
