Wisdom 15:16-18

Good News Translation

¹⁶ Someone whose spirit is only borrowed made them. No one can ever make a god that is equal to a human being. ¹⁷ Every person will sooner or later die, but anything he makes with his wicked hands is dead from the start. He himself is better than what he worships. He at least is alive, but what he worships is not, and never has been. ¹⁸ Such people worship the most disgusting animals, including even the least intelligent ones.
