Wisdom 15:11

Listen to Wisdom 15:11
11 because he never came to know the God who shaped him, who breathed into him an active soul and a living spirit.

Wisdom 15:11 In-Context

9 His life will be short, and he will soon have to die, but he is not concerned about that. He wants to compete with those who work in gold, silver, and bronze, and make things like they do. He takes great pride in the things he makes, but they are counterfeit.
10 His heart is made of ashes. His hope is cheaper than dirt. His life is not worth as much as his clay,
11 because he never came to know the God who shaped him, who breathed into him an active soul and a living spirit.
12 He thinks of human life as just a game, a market where he can make a profit. He believes that he must make money however he can, even by evil ways.
13 This man, who makes idols and fragile pots from the same clay, knows better than anyone else that he is sinning.
