Sirach 43:6-8
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
The Splendor of the Moon
6 He made the moon also, to serve in its season[a]
to mark the times and to be an everlasting sign.
7 From the moon comes the sign for feast days,
a light that wanes when it has reached the full.
8 The month is named for the moon,
increasing marvelously in its phases,
an instrument of the hosts on high
shining forth in the firmament of heaven.
