Sirach 43:6-8
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
The Splendour of the Moon
6 It is the moon that marks the changing seasons,[a]
governing the times, their everlasting sign.
7 From the moon comes the sign for festal days,
a light that wanes when it completes its course.
8 The new moon, as its name suggests, renews itself;[b]
how marvellous it is in this change,
a beacon to the hosts on high,
shining in the vault of the heavens!
