Wisdom of Solomon 13:5

Wisdom of Solomon 13:5 Context

²But deemed either fire, or wind, or the swift air, or the circle of the stars, or the violent water, or the lights of heaven, to be the gods which govern the world. ³With whose beauty if they being delighted took them to be gods; let them know how much better the Lord of them is: for the first author of beauty hath created them. ⁴But if they were astonished at their power and virtue, let them understand by them, how much mightier he is that made them. ⁵For by the greatness and beauty of the creatures proportionably the maker of them is seen. ⁶But yet for this they are the less to be blamed: for they peradventure err, seeking God, and desirous to find him. ⁷For being conversant in his works they search him diligently, and believe their sight: because the things are beautiful that are seen. ⁸Howbeit neither are they to be pardoned.
