Wisdom 14:27

27 For the worshiping of idols not to be named is the beginning, the cause, and the end of all evil.

Wisdom 14:27 In-Context

25 so that there reigned in all men, without exception, blood, manslaughter, theft and dissimulation, corruption, unfaithfulness, tumults, perjury,
26 disquieting of good men, forgetfulness of good turns, defiling of souls, changing of sex, disorder in marriages, adultery, and shameless uncleanness.
27 For the worshiping of idols not to be named is the beginning, the cause, and the end of all evil.
28 For either they are mad when they be merry, or prophesy lies, or live unjustly, or else lightly forswear themselves.
29 For insomuch as their trust is in idols which have no life, though they swear falsely, yet they look not to be hurt.
