Sirach 43:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ A person blows on a furnace,
working in its burning heat,
    but the sun is three times hotter
    when it burns up mountains.
    When it breathes out fiery vapors,
        and shines forth its rays, it blinds eyes.
⁵ Great is the Lord who made it;
    it speeds on its course by his command.
⁶ The moon stands at its proper time,^[a]
    a notification of times
    and an everlasting sign.
