Wisdom of Solomon 13:13

And 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;

And that which is left of these things, which is profitable for nothing (for it is a croked piece of wood and ful of knobbes) he carueth it diligently at his leasure, and according as he is expert in cunning, he giueth it a proporcion, and facioneth it after the similitude of a man,
