Wisdom 14:8
Print
But idols made by human hands are cursed, as are those who make them. Those who make them are cursed because they make them. The idols are cursed because, though made of corruptible material, people call them gods.
But the idol that is made by hands, is cursed, as well it, as he that made it: he because he made it; and it because being frail it is called a god.
but a curse is on an idol made by human hands. A curse is also on the one who makes it, because he works on this perishable thing and then calls it a god.
but the handmade idol is accursed, and its maker as well: he for having produced it, and the corruptible thing, because it was termed a god.
but the idol made with hands is accursed, as is its maker— he for having made it, and it because, even though perishable, it was called a god.
But the idol made with hands is accursed, and so is the one who made it— he for having made it, and the perishable thing because it was named a god.
But the idol made with hands is accursed, and so is the one who made it— he for having made it, and the perishable thing because it was named a god.
But the idol made with hands is accursed, and so is the one who made it— he for having made it, and the perishable thing because it was named a god.
But the idol made with hands is accursed, and so is the one who made it— he for having made it, and the perishable thing because it was named a god.
But the idol made with hands is accursed, and so is he who made it; because he did the work, and the perishable thing was named a god.
But the idol made with hands is accursed, and so is he who made it; because he did the work, and the perishable thing was named a god.
But the idol which is made by hand(s) is cursed, both it, and he that made it, for soothly he wrought great trespass; soothly that idol, when it was frail, was named God (or a god). [The maumet forsooth, that is made by hands, is cursed, and it, and he that made it, for he wrought unbelievefulness; that forsooth, when it was brittle, is named God.]
