1 Esdras 4:34

34 "Gentlemen, are not women strong? The earth is vast, and heaven is high, and the sun is swift in its course, for it makes the circuit of the heavens and returns to its place in one day.

1 Esdras 4:34 In-Context

32 Gentlemen, why are not women strong, since they do such things?"
33 Then the king and the nobles looked at one another; and he began to speak about truth:
34 "Gentlemen, are not women strong? The earth is vast, and heaven is high, and the sun is swift in its course, for it makes the circuit of the heavens and returns to its place in one day.
35 Is he not great who does these things? But truth is great, and stronger than all things.
36 The whole earth calls upon truth, and heaven blesses her. All God's works quake and tremble, and with him there is nothing unrighteous.
