Wisdom 15:17-19
Revised Standard Version
17 He is mortal, and what he makes with lawless hands is dead,
for he is better than the objects he worships,
since[a] he has life, but they never have.
Serpents in the Desert
18 The enemies of thy people[b] 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.
