7:24 For wisdom is more moving than any motion: she passeth and goeth through all things by reason of her pureness.
7:25 For she is the breath of the power of God, and a pure influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty: therefore can no defiled thing fall into her.
7:26 For she is the brightness of the everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the power of God, and the image of his goodness.
7:27 And being but one, she can do all things: and remaining in herself, she maketh all things new: and in all ages entering into holy souls, she maketh them friends of God, and prophets.
7:28 For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom.
7:29 For she is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the order of stars: being compared with the light, she is found before it.
7:30 For after this cometh night: but vice shall not prevail against wisdom.
8:1 Wisdom reacheth from one end to another mightily: and sweetly doth she order all things.
8:2 I loved her, and sought her out from my youth, I desired to make her my spouse, and I was a lover of her beauty.
8:3 In that she is conversant with God, she magnifieth her nobility: yea, the Lord of all things himself loved her.
