For she is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the order of stars: being compared with the light, she is found before it.
All Commentaries on Wisdom of Solomon 7:29 Go To Wisdom of Solomon 7
Ambrose of Milan
AD 397
Who would ever ruin the loveliness of a beautiful face by joining it with a beast-like body and claws? Indeed, the appearance of virtue is admirable and splendid, and especially the beauty of wisdom, as the succession of events narrated by Scripture demonstrates. Wisdom is more dazzling than the sun, and, compared with the light of the constellations, it surpasses them all. Indeed, whereas the night absorbs their light, wickedness cannot overcome wisdom.
