Wisdom 1:16

16 But ungodly men with their works and words called it to them; for when they thought to have it their friend, they consumed to nought, and made a covenant with it, because they are worthy to take part with it.

Wisdom 1:16 In-Context

14 For He created all things, that they might have their being; and the generations of the world were healthful, and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor the kingdom of death upon the earth.
15 For righteousness is immortal.
16 But ungodly men with their works and words called it to them; for when they thought to have it their friend, they consumed to nought, and made a covenant with it, because they are worthy to take part with it.
