Ecclesiastes 1:5

New American Bible - revised edition

The sun rises and the sun sets; then it presses on to the place where it rises.

See the chapter Copy

All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, Summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

till an arrow pierces its liver; Like a bird that rushes into a snare, unaware that his life is at stake.

Thus says the Lord: If you can break my covenant with day and my covenant with night so that day and night no longer appear in their proper time,

the moon left its lofty station, At the light of your flying arrows, at the gleam of your flashing spear.
