Wisdom 14:13

Listen to Wisdom 14:13

Wisdom 14:13 In-Context

11 And so God's judgment will fall on pagan idols, because, even though they are made from something God created, they became horrible things that trap the souls of foolish people.
12 Sexual immorality began when idols were invented. They have corrupted human life ever since they were first made.
13 Idols have not always existed, nor will they exist forever.
14 It was human pride that brought them into the world, and that is why a quick end has been planned for them.
15 Once there was a father who was overwhelmed with grief at the untimely death of his child, so he made an image of that child who had been suddenly taken from him. He then honored a dead human being as a god, and handed on secret rituals and ceremonies to those who were under his authority.
