May God grant me to speak with judgment, and to have thoughts worthy of what I have received; for he is the guide even of wisdom and the corrector of the wise.
16
For both we and our words are in his hand, as are all understanding and skill in crafts.
17
For it is he who gave me unerring knowledge of what exists, to know the structure of the world and the activity of the elements;
18
the beginning and end and middle of times, the alternations of the solstices and the changes of the seasons,
19
the cycles of the year and the constellations of the stars,
20
the natures of animals and the tempers of wild animals, the powers of spirits and the thoughts of human beings, the varieties of plants and the virtues of roots;
21
I learned both what is secret and what is manifest,
22
for wisdom, the fashioner of all things, taught me. There is in her a spirit that is intelligent, holy, unique, manifold, subtle, mobile, clear, unpolluted, distinct, invulnerable, loving the good, keen, irresistible,
23
beneficent, humane, steadfast, sure, free from anxiety, all-powerful, overseeing all, and penetrating through all spirits that are intelligent, pure, and altogether subtle.
24
For wisdom is more mobile than any motion; because of her pureness she pervades and penetrates all things.
25
For she is a breath of the power of God, and a pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty; therefore nothing defiled gains entrance into her.
