Wisdom of Solomon 15:10 Context
8And employing his labours lewdly, he maketh a vaine God of the same clay, euen he which a little before was made of earth himselfe, and within a little while after returneth to the same out of the which he was taken: when his life which was lent him shall be demanded. 9Notwithstanding his care is, not that hee shall haue much labour, nor that his life is short: but striueth to excel goldsmiths, and siluersmiths, and endeuoureth to doe like the workers in brasse, and counteth it his glory to make counterfeit things. 10His heart is ashes, his hope is more vile then earth, and his life of lesse value then clay: 11Forasmuch as hee knew not his maker, and him that inspired into him an actiue soule, and breathed in a liuing spirit. 12But they counted our life a pastime, & our time here a market for gaine: for, say they, we must be getting euery way, though it be by euil meanes.
