Sirach 33:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ Why doth one day excel another, and one light another, and one year another year, when all come of the sun?

⁸ By the knowledge of the Lord they were distinguished, the sun being made, and keeping his commandment.

⁹ And he ordered the seasons, and holidays of them, and in them they celebrated festivals at an hour.
