Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom of Solomon 14:21

καὶ τοῦτο ἐγένετο τῷ βίῳ εἰς ἔνεδρον, ὅτι ἢ συμφορᾷ ἢ τυραννίδι δουλεύσαντες ἄνθρωποι τὸ ἀκοινώνητον ὄνομα λίθοις καὶ ξύλοις περιέθεσαν.
King James Version (KJV)

And this was an occasion to deceive the world: for men, serving either calamity or tyranny, did ascribe unto stones and stocks the incommunicable name.

Modern English

This became a trap for deceiving the world, for people, whether in disaster or under tyranny, gave the incommunicable name to mere stone and wood.
