Wisdom 13:6-9

6 But maybe we are too harsh with these people. After all, they may have really wanted to find God, but couldn't.
7 Surrounded by God's works, they keep on looking at them, until they are finally convinced that because the things they see are so beautiful, they must be gods.
8 But still, these people really have no excuse.
9 If they had enough intelligence to speculate about the nature of the universe, why did they never find the Lord of all things?
