1. The firmament on high is his beauty; it is the beauty of heaven in a vision of glory.
2. The sun, at its appearance, announces its journey; it is an instrument of wonder, a work of the Most High.
3. At midday, it scorches the earth. And in the presence of its heat, who would be able to endure? It is like the custodian of a furnace in its works of heat.
4. In three ways, the sun acts: scorching the mountains, emitting fiery rays, and shining with its beams that can blind the eyes.
