Wisdom of Solomon 15:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 For to know you is complete righteousness,
and to know your power is the root of immortality.(A)
4 For neither has the evil intent of human art misled us,
nor the fruitless toil of painters,
a figure stained with varied colors,(B)
5 whose appearance arouses yearning in fools,
so that they desire[a] the lifeless form of a dead image.(C)
