“Wisdom is more mobile
Than any motion.
Because of her pureness
She pervades all things.
She penetrates all things.
She is a breath
Of the power of God.
She is a pure emanation
Of the glory of the Almighty.
Therefore nothing defiled
Gains entrance into her.
She is a reflection of eternal light.
She is a spotless mirror
Of the working of God.
She is an image
Of his goodness.”
Wisdom (σοφία) is clearly tied to God, so that the obvious comparison to the Christian Holy Spirit continues. This female wisdom is more mobile than any motion. She is pure so that she pervades and penetrates all things. She is a breath of the power of God (τοῦ Θεοῦ δυνάμεως), a pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty (τοῦ Παντοκράτορος δόξης). Nothing defiled gains entrance into her. She is the reflection of an eternal light (φωτὸς ἀϊδίου) like a spotless mirror of a working God (τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐνεργείας). She is the image of his goodness. Many of these same things have said about the Holy Spirit.
