Wisdom 14:29DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 29 of 31
"For whilst they trust in idols, which are without life, though they swear amiss, they look not to be hurt."
In context
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.
30But for two things they shall be justly punished, because they have thought not well of God, giving heed to idols, and have sworn unjustly, in guile despising justice.
31For it is not the power of them, by whom they swear, but the just vengeance of sinners always punisheth the transgression of the unjust.
