Wisdom 13:15

15 Then he prepares a suitable place in the wall for it and fastens it in place with iron nails.

Wisdom 13:15 In-Context

13 But among that scrap wood he may take one piece that isn't good for anything - maybe it's crooked and full of knots - and carefully carve it in his leisure time, using spare moments to shape it into the crude image of a person,

14 or maybe of some worthless animal. He paints it all over with red, covering up every flaw in the work.

15 Then he prepares a suitable place in the wall for it and fastens it in place with iron nails.

16 He is careful to keep it from falling, because he knows it is only an idol and needs help; it cannot help itself.

17 But he is not ashamed to pray to this lifeless thing about his marriage, his children, and his possessions.
