Wisdom 14:27DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 27 of 31
"For the worship of abominable idols is the cause, and the beginning and end of all evil."
In context
25And all things are mingled together, blood, murder, theft and dissimulation, corruption and unfaithfulness, tumults and perjury, disquieting of the good,
26Forgetfulness of God, defiling of souls, changing of nature, disorder in marriage, and the irregularity of adultery and uncleanness.
27For the worship of abominable idols is the cause, and the beginning and end of all evil.
28For either they are mad when they are merry: or they prophesy lies, or they live unjustly, or easily forswear themselves.
29For whilst they trust in idols, which are without life, though they swear amiss, they look not to be hurt.
