5 But you will that the products of your Wisdom be not idle;therefore people trust their lives even to most frail wood,and were safe crossing the waves on a raft.
6 For of old, when the proud giants were being destroyed,the hope of the universe, who took refuge on a raft,left to the world a future for the human family, under the guidance of your hand.
7 For blest is the wood through which righteousness comes about;
8 but the handmade idol is accursed, and its maker as well:he for having produced it, and the corruptible thing, because it was termed a god.
9 Equally odious to God are the evildoer and the evil deed;
10 and the thing made will be punished with its maker.
11 Therefore upon even the idols of the nations shall a judgment come,since they became abominable among God’s works,Snares for human soulsand a trap for the feet of the senseless.
