Wisdom of Solomon 15:10

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.
