Wisdom 7:26-30

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ For she is the brightness of eternal light, and the unspotted mirror of God's majesty, and the image of his goodness.

²⁷ And being but one, she can do all things: and remaining in herself the same, she reneweth all things, and through nations conveyeth herself into holy souls, she maketh the friends of God and prophets.

²⁸ For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom.

²⁹ For she is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the order of the stars: being compared with the light, she is found before it.

³⁰ For after this cometh night, but no evil can overcome wisdom.
