Wisdom 15:14-16

Good News Translation

The Punishment of the Egyptians

¹⁴ But the most foolish of all people, showing less sense than babies, were the enemies who oppressed your people, O Lord. ¹⁵ They thought that all their pagan idols were gods, even though idols cannot see with their eyes, cannot breathe through their nose, cannot hear with their ears, cannot feel with their fingers, and cannot walk on their legs. ¹⁶ Someone whose spirit is only borrowed made them. No one can ever make a god that is equal to a human being.
