Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 43:3-6 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

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.

6. There is also the moon, marking the passage of time,an eternal sign of the changing seasons.
