| Wisdom 14:12 | For the beginning of fornication is the devising of idols: and the invention of them is the corruption of life. | Fornication. Invention of idols brought people to give way to spiritual fornication, and corruption of manners. (Worthington) --- They freely practised what was sanctioned by the example of their gods.
