From the book of the Wisdom of Solomon (a Deuterocanonical book) Chapter 13:1-9
13:1 Yes, naturally stupid are all who are unaware of God, and who, from good things seen, have not been able to discover Him-who-is, or, by studying the works, have not recognised the Artificer.
13:2 Fire, however, or wind, or the swift air, the sphere of the stars, impetuous water, heaven’s lamps, are what they have held to be the gods who govern the world.
13:3 If, charmed by their beauty, they have taken these for gods, let them know how much the Master of these excels them, since he was the very source of beauty that created them.
13:4 And if they have been impressed by their power and energy, let them deduce from these how much mightier is he that has formed them,
13:5 since through the grandeur and beauty of the creatures we may, by analogy, contemplate their Author.
13:6 Small blame, however, attaches to them, for perhaps they go astray only in their search for God and their eagerness to find him;
13:7 familiar with his works, they investigate them and fall victim to appearances, seeing so much beauty.
13:8 But even so, they have no excuse:
13:9 if they are capable of acquiring enough knowledge to be able to investigate the world, how have they been so slow to find its Master?
