Wisdom 15:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ With misspent effort he will mold a false god from the same clay;
    although he himself was made out of earth a short time before,
after a brief interval, he will return to that earth from which he was taken,
    when he is required to return on demand the life that was lent to him.
⁹ However, he is not concerned about death
    or that his span of life is brief;
rather he competes with artisans in gold and silver
    and emulates workers in bronze,
    and he takes pride in making models of false gods.
¹⁰ His heart is ashes, his hopes of less value than common dirt,
    and his life less worthy than clay,
