17 For he gave me sound knowledge of what exists,that I might know the structure of the universe and the force of its elements,
18 The beginning and the end and the midpoint of times,the changes in the sun’s course and the variations of the seasons,
19 Cycles of years, positions of stars,
20 natures of living things, tempers of beasts,Powers of the winds and thoughts of human beings,uses of plants and virtues of roots—
21 Whatever is hidden or plain I learned,
22 for Wisdom, the artisan of all, taught me. For in her is a spiritintelligent, holy, unique,Manifold, subtle, agile,clear, unstained, certain,Never harmful, loving the good, keen,
23 unhampered, beneficent, kindly,Firm, secure, tranquil,all-powerful, all-seeing,And pervading all spirits,though they be intelligent, pure and very subtle.
