2 Day after day they pour forth speech, night after night they reveal knowledge. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.

In them he has set a tent for the sun, Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.

6 Its circuit is from one end of the sky to the other, and nothing is hidden from its heat.

10 They are more desirable than gold, even much fine gold. They are sweeter than honey, even the drippings from a honeycomb.
