Wisdom 14:13

Listen to Wisdom 14:13
13 for they did not exist from the beginning, nor will they last forever.

Wisdom 14:13 In-Context

11 Therefore there will be a visitation also upon the heathen idols, because, though part of what God created, they became an abomination, snares for human souls and a trap for the feet of the foolish.
12 For the idea of making idols was the beginning of fornication, and the invention of them was the corruption of life;
13 for they did not exist from the beginning, nor will they last forever.
14 For through human vanity they entered the world, and therefore their speedy end has been planned.
15 For a father, consumed with grief at an untimely bereavement, made an image of his child, who had been suddenly taken from him; he now honored as a god what was once a dead human being, and handed on to his dependents secret rites and initiations.
