Wisdom 7: 22-8:1
7:22 | For in her is the spirit of understanding: holy, singular, manifold, subtle, perceptive, lively, chaste, reliable, gracious, loving, good, astute, who forbids nothing beneficial, |
7:23 | humane, kind, steadfast, trustworthy, secure, having all virtue, watching for all things and grasping all things with a pure and most delicate understanding of spirit. |
7:24 | For wisdom is more active than all active things, yet she reaches everywhere because of her purity. |
7:25 | For she is a breath of the virtue of God and a genuine emanation from the purity of the almighty God, and therefore nothing unclean can invade her. |
7:26 | Indeed, she is the brightness of eternal light, and the unspotted mirror of the majesty of God, and the image of his goodness. |
7:27 | And though she is one, she can do all things; and, unchanging in herself, she renews all things, and throughout the nations she conveys herself to holy souls, establishing them as friends and prophets of God. |
7:28 | For God loves none but those who dwell with wisdom. |
7:29 | For she is more spectacular than the sun, and above the array of all the stars; compared with the light, she is found to be before it. |
7:30 | Indeed, after her comes night, but wisdom will not be overcome by malice.

Wisdom 8
8:1 | Thus, she reaches mightily from one end all the way to the other, and she orders all things sweetly. |
