Wisdom 15:12

12 But they counted our life a pastime, and our time here a market for gain. "For," say they, "we must be getting in every way, though it be by evil means."

Wisdom 15:12 In-Context

10 His heart is ashes, his hope is more vile than earth, and his life of less value than clay,
11 inasmuch as he knew not his Maker, and Him that inspired into him an active soul, and breathed in a living spirit.
12 But they counted our life a pastime, and our time here a market for gain. "For," say they, "we must be getting in every way, though it be by evil means."
13 For this man, that of earthly matter maketh brittle vessels and graven images, knoweth himself to offend above all others.
14 And all the enemies of Thy people, who hold them in subjection, are most foolish and are more miserable than very babes.
