God against idolatry: These people call gods the works of human hands, objects of gold and silver. Wisdom 13:10

The Book of Wisdom addresses, among its spiritual teachings, a very important topic: the problem of human ignorance. Because ignorance has an unavoidable complication: wisdom, which is the science that teaches men to live correctly and which opposes this social problem, does not have immediate results, but rather gradual and progressive results that in most cases require many years of effort to show results, and those who, due to ignorance, seek immediate results will reject education and seek the easiest thing, such as rejecting all spiritual knowledge and putting their trust in the worship of images and idols.
Idolatry, such as the love or devotion to money, and ignorance go hand in hand, because both have something in common, the rejection that beneath the apparent chaos of things lies a subtle and invisible order, an order that we can call God, spirituality, or wisdom. Those who seek easy and immediate results, due to a lack of understanding of the problems, cannot receive any blessing. People who live in ignorance sooner or later fall into idolatry.
There are many stories in the Bible that describe the magnitude of this problem, such as when Moses received the tablets of the law from God so that the Israelites could inherit the land, Canaan. When the Israelites realized that Moses was taking a long time to return, they asked Aaron to make a golden calf to worship because of their ignorance and hardness of heart. When Moses returned, he had to harshly rebuke them for the mistake they had made, interceding before God. The Book of Exodus recounts the actions of Moses: "He melted the idol the people had made, and he ground it into powder. He scattered it in their water and made them drink it" Exodus 32:20.
This is why the Book of Wisdom warns those who seek the true spiritual mysteries that God's science provides, not to be deceived by vain illusions. With these words, the Book of Wisdom condemns those who place their hope in material objects: "How much more miserable, though, are those people who put their trust in things that are dead? These people call gods the works of human hands, objects of gold and silver" Wisdom 13:10.
The Bible always reminds us that only God's wisdom should be worshipped; in this lies true knowledge, happiness, and the blessedness of man.
