11
Therefore even upon the idols of the Gentiles shall there be a visitation, because in the creation of God they have become an abomination, and stumbling blocks to the souls of men, and a snare to the feet of the unwise.
12
For the devising of idols was the beginning of spiritual fornication, and the invention of them the corruption of life.
13
For neither were they from the beginning, neither shall they be for ever.
14
For by the vainglory of men they entered into the world, and therefore shall they come shortly to an end.
15
For a father, afflicted with untimely mourning, when he hath made an image of his child soon taken away, now honored him as a god who was then a dead man, and delivered to those who were under him ceremonies and sacrifices.
