Wisdom 14:7-12 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

7. For blest is the wood through which righteousness comes about;

8. but the handmade idol is accursed, and its maker as well:he for having produced it, and the corruptible thing, because it was termed a god.

9. Equally odious to God are the evildoer and the evil deed;

10. and the thing made will be punished with its maker.

11. Therefore upon even the idols of the nations shall a judgment come,since they became abominable among God’s works,Snares for human soulsand a trap for the feet of the senseless.

12. For the source of wantonness is the devising of idols;and their invention, a corruption of life.
