Wisdom 7:19-29

19 the circuits of years, and the positions of stars;
20 the natures of living creatures, and the furies of wild beasts; the violence of winds, and the reasonings of men; the diversities of plants, and the virtues of roots.
21 And all such things as are either secret or manifest, them I know.
22 For wisdom, which is the worker of all things, taught me. For in her is an understanding spirit, holy, one only, manifold, subtle, lively, clear, undefiled, plain, not subject to hurt, loving the thing that is good, quick, which cannot be hindered, ready to do good,
23 kind to man, steadfast, sure, free from care, having all power, overseeing all things, and going through all understanding, pure and most subtle spirit.
24 For wisdom is more moving than any motion; she passeth and goeth through all things by reason of her pureness.
25 For she is the breath of the power of God and a pure effluence flowing from the glory of the Almighty; therefore can no defiled thing fall into her.
26 For she is the brightness of the everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the power of God, and the image of His goodness.
27 And, being but one, she can do all things; and, remaining in herself, she maketh all things new; and in all ages, entering into holy souls, she maketh them friends of God, and prophets.
28 For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom.
29 For she is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the order of stars; being compared with the light, she is found before it.
