Ben Sira 38:28 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

So too the smith sitting by the anvil,intent on the iron he forges.The flame from the fire sears his flesh,yet he toils away in the furnace heat.The clang of the hammer deafens his ears;his eyes are on the object he is shaping.His determination is to finish the work,and he is careful to perfect it in detail.

Ben Sira 38
