Ben Sira 43:2 In-Context

1 How beautiful is the bright, clear sky above us! What a glorious sight it is!

2 The sun, when it appears, proclaims as it rises how marvelous a thing it is, made by the Most High.

3 At noon it dries up the land; no one can stand its blazing heat.

4 The setting sun sets fire to the hilltops, like a metal furnace glowing from the heat. It sends out fiery rays, blinding the eyes with its brightness.

5 The Lord, who made it, is great; it speeds on its way at his command.
