Wisdom 13:13

13 and, taking the very refuse among those which served to no use (being a crooked piece of wood and full of knots), hath carved it diligently when he had nothing else to do, and formed it by the skill of his understanding, and fashioned it to the image of a man;

Wisdom 13:13 In-Context

11 Now a carpenter who felleth timber, after he hath sawn down a tree meet for the purpose, and taken off all the bark skillfully round about, and hath wrought it handsomely and made a vessel thereof fit for the service of man's life;
12 and, after spending the refuse of his work to dress his meat, hath filled himself;
13 and, taking the very refuse among those which served to no use (being a crooked piece of wood and full of knots), hath carved it diligently when he had nothing else to do, and formed it by the skill of his understanding, and fashioned it to the image of a man;
14 or made it like some vile beast, laying it over with vermilion, and with paint coloring it red and covering every spot therein;
15 and, when he had made a convenient room for it, set it in a wall and made it fast with iron
