Wisdom 13:6-9

Good News Translation

⁶ But maybe we are too harsh with these people. After all, they may have really wanted to find God, but couldn't. ⁷ Surrounded by God's works, they keep on looking at them, until they are finally convinced that because the things they see are so beautiful, they must be gods. ⁸ But still, these people really have no excuse. ⁹ If they had enough intelligence to speculate about the nature of the universe, why did they never find the Lord of all things?
