Wisdom 15:4-6
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
4 For neither has the evil intent of human art misled us,
nor the fruitless toil of painters,
a figure stained with varied colours,
5 whose appearance arouses yearning in fools,
so that they desire[a] the lifeless form of a dead image.
6 Lovers of evil things and fit for such objects of hope[b]
are those who either make or desire or worship them.

- Wisdom 15:5 Gk and he desires
- Wisdom 15:6 Gk such hopes
