Wisdom 12:24

24 For they went far astray on the paths of error, accepting as gods those animals which even their enemies despised; they were deceived like foolish babes.

Wisdom 12:24 In-Context

22 So while chastening us thou scourgest our enemies ten thousand times more, so that we may meditate upon thy goodness when we judge, and when we are judged we may expect mercy.

23 Therefore those who in folly of life lived unrighteously thou didst torment through their own abominations.

24 For they went far astray on the paths of error, accepting as gods those animals which even their enemies despised; they were deceived like foolish babes.

25 Therefore, as to thoughtless children, thou didst send thy judgment to mock them.

26 But those who have not heeded the warning of light rebukes will experience the deserved judgment of God.
