Wisdom Of Solomon 7:16-24 Common English Bible (CEB)

16. We’re in God’s hands, as are our words, all our reasoning, and all our practical knowledge.

17. He’s given me accurate knowledge of all that is—of how the world is made and holds together, and of the forces at work in the world’s essential elements.

18. He’s given me knowledge of the beginning, end, and middle of time; of the alternation of the solstices and the changes of seasons;

19. of the cycle of the year and the positions of the stars;

20. of the nature of animals, the temperaments of beasts, the extraordinary powers of spirits, the thoughts of humans, the different types of plants, and the healing powers of roots.

21. I now know everything, visible and hidden,

22. for Wisdom, the designer of everything that is, has taught me.Her spirit is insightful, holy, unique, diverse, refined, kinetic, pure, spotless, transparent, harmless, delighting in what is good, sharp,

23. unstoppable, overflowing with kindness, delighting in humans, steadfast, secure, not anxious, all-powerful, and all-seeing. Her spirit can be found in every spirit that is perceptive, pure, and refined.

24. Wisdom is more mobile than anything that moves. She pervades and embraces everything because she is so pure.
