Wis 13:14
King James Version
“Or made it like some vile beast, laying it over with vermilion, and with paint colouring it red, and covering every spot therein;”
Context
11Now a carpenter that felleth timber, after he hath sawn down a tree meet for the purpose, and taken off all the bark skilfully round about, and hath wrought it handsomely, and made a vessel thereof fit for the service of man’s life;
12And after spending the refuse of his work to dress his meat, hath filled himself;
13And taking the very refuse among those which served to no use, being a crooked piece of wood, and full of knots, hath carved it diligently, when he had nothing else to do, and formed it by the skill of his understanding, and fashioned it to the image of a man;
14Or made it like some vile beast, laying it over with vermilion, and with paint colouring it red, and covering every spot therein;
15And when he had made a convenient room for it, set it in a wall, and made it fast with iron:
16For he provided for it that it might not fall, knowing that it was unable to help itself; for it is an image, and hath need of help:
17Then maketh he prayer for his goods, for his wife and children, and is not ashamed to speak to that which hath no life.
