Sirach 43:7-10 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

7. From the moon is the sign of a feast day; it is a light which diminishes at its consummation.

8. A month is named according to its phases, increasing wonderfully at its culmination.

9. It is an instrument of the armies on high, shining gloriously in the firmament of heaven.

10. The glory of the stars is the beauty of heaven; the Lord illuminates the world from on high.
