Sirach 43 — GMV

43 Verse 1 The pride of the height, the clear firmament, ^{Verse 2} The sun when it appeareth, declaring at his rising ^{Verse 3} At noon it parcheth the country, ^{Verse 4} A man blowing a furnace is in works of heat, ^{Verse 5} Great is the Lord that made it; ^{Verse 6} He made the moon also to serve in her season ^{Verse 7} From the moon is the sign of feasts, a light that decreaseth in her perfection. ^{Verse 8} The month is called after her name, increasing wonderfully in her changing, ^{Verse 9} The beauty of heaven, the glory of the stars, ^{Verse 10} At the commandment of the Holy One they will stand in their order, ^{Verse 11} Look upon the rainbow, and praise him that made it; ^{Verse 12} It compasseth the heaven about with a glorious circle, ^{Verse 13} By his commandment he maketh the snow to fall apace, ^{Verse 14} Through this the treasures are opened: ^{Verse 15} By his great power he maketh the clouds firm, ^{Verse 16} At his sight the mountains are shaken, ^{Verse 17} The noise of the thunder maketh the earth to tremble: ^{Verse 18} The eye marveleth at the beauty of the whiteness thereof, ^{Verse 19} The hoarfrost also as salt he poureth on the earth, ^{Verse 20} When the cold north wind bloweth, ^{Verse 21} It devoureth the mountains, and burneth the wilderness, ^{Verse 22} A present remedy of all is a mist coming speedily: ^{Verse 23} By his counsel he appeaseth the deep, ^{Verse 24} They that sail on the sea tell of the danger thereof; ^{Verse 25} For therein be strange and wondrous works, ^{Verse 26} By him the end of them hath prosperous success, ^{Verse 27} We may speak much, and yet come short; ^{Verse 28} How shall we be able to magnify him? ^{Verse 29} The Lord is terrible and very great, ^{Verse 30} When ye glorify the Lord, exalt him as much as ye can; ^{Verse 31} Who hath seen him, that he might tell us? ^{Verse 32} There are yet hidden greater things than these be, ^{Verse 33} For the Lord hath made all things;
