Wisdom of Solomon 15:5 Context
3For to know thee is perfect righteousnesse: yea to know thy power is the roote of immortality. 4For neither did the mischieuous inuention of men deceiue vs: nor an image spotted with diuers colours, the painters fruitlesse labour. 5The sight wherof entiseth fooles to lust after it, and so they desire the forme of a dead image that hath no breath. 6Both they that make them, they that desire them, and they that worship them, are louers of euill things, and are worthy to haue such things to trust vpon. 7For the potter tempering soft earth fashioneth, euery vessell with much labour for our seruice: yea of the same clay hee maketh both the vessels that serue for cleane vses: and likewise also all such as serue to the contrary: but what is the vse of either sort, the potter himselfe is the iudge.
