Chapter 4
1 And again, observe the days of summer, how the sun is high above the earth. You seek shade and shelter due to the sun’s intense heat, and the ground also burns with growing heat, so you cannot walk on the earth or on a rock because of its heat.

Deuterocanon · Ben Sira, Ecclesiasticusthe appearance of heaven, in the spectacle of its glory. 2 The sun, when it appears, bringing news as it rises,
is a marvelous instrument, the work of the Most High. 3 At noon, it dries up the land.
Who can stand against its burning heat? 4 A man tending a furnace is in burning heat,
but the sun burns three times more.
Burning up the mountains,
breathing out fiery vapors,
and sending out bright beams,
it blinds the eyes.
