Wisdom 16:26-28 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

26. That thy children, O Lord, whom thou lovedst, might know that it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth men, but thy word preseveth them that believe in thee:

27. For that which could not be destroyed by fire, being warmed with a little sunbeam presently melted away:

28. That it might be known to all, that we ought to prevent the sun to bless thee, and adore thee at the dawning of the light.
