Wisdom of Solomon 15:12 Context
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. 13For this man that of earthly matter maketh brickle vessels, and grauen images, knoweth himselfe to offend aboue all others. 14And all the enemies of thy people, that hold them in subiection are most foolish and are more miserable then very babes.
