Wisdom of Solomon 7:26-8:1

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁶ For she is a reflection of eternal light,
a spotless mirror of the working of God,
and an image of his goodness.^(A)
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,^(B)
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,^(C)
30 for it is succeeded by the night,
but against wisdom evil does not prevail.
