Ben Sira 43:2 In-Context

1 The pride of the heavenly heights is the clear firmament, the appearance of heaven in a spectacle of glory.

2 The sun, when it appears, making proclamation as it goes forth, is a marvelous instrument, the work of the Most High.

3 At noon it parches the land; and who can withstand its burning heat?

4 A man tending a furnace works in burning heat, but the sun burns the mountains three times as much; it breathes out fiery vapors, and with bright beams it blinds the eyes.

5 Great is the Lord who made it; and at his command it hastens on its course.
