1 For all people who were ignorant of Yahweh were foolish by nature; and
they were unable from the good things that are seen to know the one who
exists, nor did they recognize the artisan while paying heed to his works.
2 but they supposed that either fire or wind or swift air, or the circle
of the stars or turbulent water, or the luminaries of heaven were the elohims
that rule the world. 3 If through delight in the beauty of these things
people assumed them to be elohims, let them know how much better than these
is their Master, for the author of beauty created them. 4 And if people
were amazed at their power and working, let them perceive from them how
much more powerful is the one who formed them. 5 From the greatness and
beauty of created things comes a corresponding perception of their Creator.
6 Yet these people are little to be blamed, for perhaps they go astray
while seeking Yahweh and desiring to find him. 7 For while they live among
his works, they keep searching, and they trust in what they see because
the things that are seen are so beautiful. 8 Yet again, not even they are
to be excused; 9 for if they had the power to know so much that they could
investigate the world, how did they fail to find sooner the Master of these
things?
