Ben Sira 43:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
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;(A)
12 It spans the heavens with its glory,
the hand of God has stretched it out in power.
