Wisdom of Solomon 7:24

For wisdom is more moving than any motion: she passeth and goeth through all things by reason of her pureness.

The psalm sings truthfully, "Great is the Lord our God, almighty, his wisdom has no limit." And to show the limitless immensity of this infinite eternity, it says elsewhere, "Great is the Lord and worthy of all praise; his greatness cannot be measured."

He is the one who says through the prophet, "I fill heaven and earth," and of whom Solomon says, "He r...
