²⁴For wisdom is more mobile than any motion;
because of her pureness she pervades and penetrates all things.
²⁵For 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.
²⁶For she is a reflection of eternal light,
a spotless mirror of the working of God,
and an image of his goodness.
²⁷Although she is but one, she can do all things,
and while remaining in herself, she renews all things;
in every generation she passes into holy souls
and makes them friends of God, and prophets;
²⁸for God loves nothing so much as the person who lives with wisdom.
²⁹She is more beautiful than the sun,
and excels every constellation of the stars.
Compared with the light she is found to be superior,
³⁰for it is succeeded by the night,
but against wisdom evil does not prevail.

8She reaches mightily from one end of the earth to the other,
and she orders all things well.
