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.
