Wisdom 14:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 For of old, when the proud giants were being destroyed,
the hope of the universe, who took refuge on a raft,[a]
left to the world a future for the human family, under the guidance of your hand.
7 For blest is the wood through which righteousness comes about;
8 but the handmade idol is accursed, and its maker as well:
he for having produced it, and the corruptible thing, because it was termed a god.(A)
