Wisdom of Solomon 14:20

And so the multitude, allured by the grace of the work, took him now for a god, which a little before was but honored.

And so the multitude, allured by the grace of the work, took him now for a god, which a little before was but honoured.

So the multitude, allured by reason of the grace of his handiwork, now consider an object of devotion him that a little before was honored as a man.

And this was the deceiuing of mans life, when men, being in seruitude, through calamitie and tyrannie ascribed vnto stones and stockes the name, which oght not to be communicate vnto anie.
