Sirach 43:5-7
Revised Standard Version
5 Great is the Lord who made it;
and at his command it hastens on its course.
The Splendor of the Moon
6 He made the moon also, to serve in its season[a]
to mark the times and to be an everlasting sign.
7 From the moon comes the sign for feast days,
a light that wanes when it has reached the full.
