Ben Sira 43:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 The beauty of the heavens and the glory of the stars,
a shining ornament in the heights of God.(A)
10 By the Lord’s command the moon keeps its appointed place,
and does not fade as the stars keep watch.
11 Behold the rainbow! Then bless its Maker,
for majestic indeed is its splendor;(B)
