Wisdom 16:28

28 that it might be known that we must precede the sun to give Thee thanks, and at the dayspring pray unto Thee.

Wisdom 16:28 In-Context

26 that Thy children, O Lord, whom Thou lovest, might know that it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth man, but that it is Thy word, which preserveth them that put their trust in Thee.
27 For that which was not destroyed by the fire, being warmed with a little sunbeam, soon melted away,
28 that it might be known that we must precede the sun to give Thee thanks, and at the dayspring pray unto Thee.
29 For the hope of the unfaithful shall melt away as the winter's hoarfrost, and shall run away as unprofitable water.
