Wisdom 14:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 Therefore upon even the idols of the nations shall a judgment come,
since they became abominable among God’s works,
Snares for human souls
and a trap for the feet of the senseless.(A)
The Origin and Evils of Idolatry
12 For the source of wantonness is the devising of idols;
and their invention, a corruption of life.(B)
13 For in the beginning they were not,
nor can they ever continue;(C)
