Scripture Text (NRSV)

Wisdom of Solomon 7:26 - 8:1
 

7:26 For she is a reflection of eternal light, a spotless mirror of the working of God, and an image of his goodness.

7:27 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;

7:28 for God loves nothing so much as the person who lives with wisdom.

7:29 She is more beautiful than the sun, and excels every constellation of the stars. Compared with the light she is found to be superior,

7:30 for it is succeeded by the night, but against wisdom evil does not prevail.

8:1 She reaches mightily from one end of the earth to the other, and she orders all things well.
