Wisdom of Solomon 15

World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible

15:1

But you, our God, are gracious and true,

—

15:2

For even if we sin, we are yours, knowing your dominion;

—

15:3

For to be acquainted with you is perfect righteousness,

—

15:4

For we weren’t led astray by any evil plan of men’s,

—

15:5

the sight of which leads fools into lust.

—

15:6

Lovers of evil things, and worthy of such hopes,

—

15:7

For a potter, kneading soft earth,

—

15:8

Also, labouring to an evil end, he moulds a vain god out of the same clay,

—

15:9

However he has anxious care,

—

15:10

His heart is ashes.

—

15:11

because he was ignorant of him who moulded him,

—

15:12

But he accounted our life to be a game,

—

15:13

For this man, beyond all others, knows that he sins,

—

15:14

But most foolish and more miserable than a baby,

—

15:15

because they even considered all the idols of the nations to be gods,

—

15:16

For a man made them,

—

15:17

But, being mortal, he makes a dead thing by the work of lawless hands;

—

15:18

Yes, and they worship the creatures that are most hateful,

—

15:19

Neither, as seen beside other creatures, are they beautiful, so that one should desire them,

—
