“The glory
Of the stars
Is the beauty
Of heaven.
There are
A gleaming array,
In the heights
Of the Lord.
On the orders
Of the Holy One,
They stand
As ordered.
They never relax
In their watches.”
Sirach indicates that the stars show the glory of the heavens. They glow in the heights as ordered by the Lord. They stand there fixed by the Holy One as they never relax. Once again, we see a static view of the universe with everything in their fixed place according to God.
