Wisdom 15:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ For man made them: and he that borroweth his own breath, fashioned them. For no man can make a god like to himself.

¹⁷ For being mortal himself, he formeth a dead thing with his wicked hands. For he is better than they whom he worshippeth, because he indeed hath lived, though he were mortal, but they never.

¹⁸ Moreover they worship also the vilest creatures: but things without sense compared to these, are worse than they.
