Wisdom 13:17-19 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

17. But when he prays about his goods or marriage or children,he is not ashamed to address the thing without a soul.For vigor he invokes the powerless;

18. for life he entreats the dead;For aid he beseeches the wholly incompetent;for travel, something that cannot even walk;

19. For profit in business and success with his handshe asks power of a thing with hands utterly powerless.
