10Infelices autem sunt,

qui appellaverunt deos opera manuum hominum:

 Foolishness of idolatry. Wis.13.10-19
11Aut si quis artifex faber de silva lignum rectum secuerit,
et hujus docte eradat omnem corticem,
et arte sua usus
diligenter fabricet vas utile in conversationem vit?;
  
12reliquiis autem ejus operis
ad pr?parationem esc? abutatur,
  
13et reliquum horum quod ad nullos usus facit,
lignum curvum et vorticibus plenum
sculpat diligenter per vacuitatem suam,
et per scientiam su? artis figuret illud,
et assimilet illud imagini hominis,
  
14aut alicui ex animalibus illud comparet:
perliniens rubrica, et rubicundum faciens fuco colorem illius,
et omnem maculam qu? in illo est perliniens;
  
15et faciat ei dignam habitationem,
et in pariete ponens illud,
et confirmans ferro		  
16ne forte cadat,
prospiciens illi:
sciens quoniam non potest adjuvare se:
imago enim est, et opus est illi adjutorium.
  
17Et de substantia sua, et de filiis suis,
et de nuptiis votum faciens inquirit:
non erubescit loqui cum illo qui sine anima est.
  
18Et pro sanitate quidem infirmum deprecatur,
et pro vita rogat mortuum,
et in adjutorium inutilem invocat.
  
19Et pro itinere petit ab eo qui ambulare non potest;
et de acquirendo, et de operando,
et de omnium rerum eventu,
petit ab eo qui in omnibus est inutilis.		  

Notes:

For the Bible in Latin, I have used the Vulgate text at the Clementine Vulgate Project website.
The only English translations from the Vulgate that are readily available are John Wycliffe's 14th century English Bible, and the the Douay Rheims/Challoner versions.
I have used the Wycliffe Bible text from the Wesley Centre website, where you can view this Bible in a number of formats.
I have used the Douay Rheims Text at the Unbound Bible website.
You can view the Douay Rheims Bible in a more readable format at DRBO.ORG website.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section: displays links to parallel passages.
Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976.
To view the Greek Text on this page, you will need a Unicode font capable of displaying extended Greek characters.
