Wisdom 15:17-19
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
17 People are mortal, and what they make with lawless hands is dead;
for they are better than the objects they worship,
since[a] they have life, but the idols[b] never had.
Serpents in the Desert
18 Moreover, they worship even the most hateful animals,
which are worse than all others when judged by their lack of intelligence;
19 and even as animals they are not so beautiful in appearance that one would desire them,
but they have escaped both the praise of God and his blessing.
