Ben Sira 43:4

4 A man blowing a furnace is in works of heat, but the sun burneth the mountains three times more; breathing out fiery vapors, and sending forth bright beams, it dimmeth the eyes.

Ben Sira 43:4 In-Context

2 the sun when it appeareth, declaring at his rising a marvelous instrument, the work of the Most High--
3 at noon it parcheth the country; and who can abide the burning heat thereof?
4 A man blowing a furnace is in works of heat, but the sun burneth the mountains three times more; breathing out fiery vapors, and sending forth bright beams, it dimmeth the eyes.
5 Great is the Lord that made it, and at His commandment it runneth hastily.
6 He made the moon also to serve in her season for a declaration of times and a sign for the world.
