Wisdom of Solomon 15:17 Context
15For they counted all the idoles of the heathen to be gods: which neither haue the vse of eyes to see, nor noses to draw breath, nor eares to heare, nor fingers of hands to handle, and as for their feete they are slow to goe. 16For man made them, and he that borrowed his owne spirit fashioned them, but no man can make a god like vnto himselfe. 17For being mortall he worketh a dead thing with wicked hands: for hee himselfe is better then the things which he worshippeth: whereas he liued once, but they neuer. 18Yea they worshipped those beasts also that are most hatefull: for being compared together, some are worse then others. 19Neither are they beautifull, so much, as to bee desired in respect of beasts, but they went without the praise of God and his blessing.
