Wisdom 14:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ who, perhaps in his eagerness to please his ruler,
    used all his skill to depict him in the most favorable way;
²⁰ and the people, attracted by the beauty of his artistry,
    began to worship as a god someone whom they had previously honored as a man.
²¹ Thus, this became a snare for humankind,
    since people, whether victimized by misfortune or by tyranny,
    assigned to objects of stone and wood the name that belongs to no other.
