²² For in her is the spirit of understanding: holy, one, manifold, subtile, eloquent, active, undefiled, sure, sweet, loving that which is good, quick, which nothing hindereth, beneficent,

²³ Gentle, kind, steadfast, assured, secure, having all power, overseeing all things, and containing all spirits, intelligible, pure, subtile.

²⁴ For wisdom is more active than all active things: and reacheth everywhere by reason of her purity.

²⁵ For she is a vapour of the power of God, and a certain pure emanation of the glory of the almighty God: and therefore no defiled thing cometh into her.

²⁶ For she is the brightness of eternal light, and the unspotted mirror of God's majesty, and the image of his goodness.

²⁹ For she is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the order of the stars: being compared with the light, she is found before it.
