Wisdom 14:26-28
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
26 Disturbance of good people, neglect of gratitude,
besmirching of souls, unnatural lust,
disorder in marriage, adultery and shamelessness.
27 For the worship of infamous idols
is the reason and source and extreme of all evil.(A)
28 For they either go mad with enjoyment, or prophesy lies,
or live lawlessly or lightly perjure themselves.(B)
