Wisdom 14:6-8
New Catholic Bible
6 For in the beginning, when arrogant giants were being destroyed,
the hope of the world took refuge on a raft[a]
and, guided by your hand, bequeathed to the world the seed of a new generation.
7 For blessed is the wood through which a righteous work is accomplished,[b]
8 but the idol made with hands is accursed, as is its maker—
he for having made it, and it because, even though perishable, it was called a god.
