Wisdom 15:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ The misguided art of humans didn’t deceive us, nor did the fruitless labor of clever painters even when they created an image that was dazzling in its combination of colors.

⁵ The sight of idols, however, creates desire in fools. They begin to long for a dead statue’s lifeless image. ⁶ Those who make them, those who want them, and those who worship them are all lovers of wicked things. They all deserve to have their hopes misdirected in this way.
