Wisdom of Solomon 15:17-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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.(A)
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,(B)
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.(C)
