Wisdom of Solomon 7:24-30

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁴ For wisdom is more mobile than any motion;
because of her pureness she pervades and penetrates all things.^(A)
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.^(B)
26 For she is a reflection of eternal light,
a spotless mirror of the working of God,
and an image of his goodness.^(C)
27 Although 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,^(D)
28 for God loves nothing so much as the person who lives with wisdom.
²⁹ She is more beautiful than the sun
and excels every constellation of the stars.
Compared with the light she is found to be more radiant,^(E)
30 for it is succeeded by the night,
but against wisdom evil does not prevail.
