Sirach 43:5

5 Great is the Lord who made it; it speeds on its course by his command.

Sirach 43:5 In-Context

3 At noon it dries up the land, and who can endure its burning heat?

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 notification of times and an everlasting sign.

7 The sign for a feast comes from the moon, a luminous body that wanes when it completes its course.
