The Wisdom of Solomon 14:8-11


[8] 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. 
[9] For equally hateful to God are the ungodly
man and his ungodliness, 
[10] for what was done will be punished together
with him who did it. 
[11] Therefore there will be a visitation also upon
the heathen idols, 
because, though part of what God created, they
became an abomination, 
and became traps for the souls of men 
and a snare to the feet of the foolish.
