Wisdom 7:26-8:1

Common English Bible

²⁶ She’s the brightness that shines forth from eternal light. She’s a mirror that flawlessly reflects God’s activity. She’s the perfect image of God’s goodness. ²⁷ She can do anything, since she’s one and undivided. She never changes, and yet she makes everything new. Generation after generation, she enters souls and shapes them into God’s friends and prophets. ²⁸ God doesn’t love anything as much as people who make their home with Wisdom. ²⁹ She’s more splendid than the sun and more wonderful than the arrangement of the stars. She’s even brighter than sunlight, ³⁰ for night follows day, but evil can never overcome Wisdom.

8 She stands strong from one end of the world to the other. She is a marvelous governor over everything in between.
