Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.
