10. For verily the deed shall be punished together with him that committed it.
11. Therefore also among the idols of the nations shall there be a visitation, Because, though formed of things which God created, they were made an abomination, And stumbling blocks to the souls of men, And a snare to the feet of the foolish.
12. For the devising of idols was the beginning of fornication, And the invention of them the corruption of life:
13. For neither were they from the beginning, neither shall they be for ever;
14. For by the vaingloriousness of men they entered into the world, And therefore was a speedy end devised for them.
15. For a father worn with untimely grief, Making an image of the child quickly taken away, Now honored him as a god which was then a dead man, And delivered to those that were under him mysteries and solemn rites.
