Sirach 43:4-6
Revised Standard Version
Sirach 43:4-6
Revised Standard Version
4 A man tending[a] a furnace works in burning heat,
but the sun burns the mountains three times as much;
it breathes out fiery vapors,
and with bright beams it blinds the eyes.
5 Great is the Lord who made it;
and at his command it hastens on its course.
The Splendor of the Moon
6 He made the moon also, to serve in its season[b]
to mark the times and to be an everlasting sign.
