Translation: World English Bible — Catholic Edition

" that it might be known that we must rise before the sun to give you thanks, and must pray to you at the dawning of the light; "

Wisdom 16:28

menu_book Verse in Context

26 that your children, whom you loved, O Lord, might learn that it is not the growth of crops that nourishes a man, but that your word preserves those who trust you.

27 For that which was not destroyed by fire, melted away when it was simply warmed by a faint sunbeam,

28 that it might be known that we must rise before the sun to give you thanks, and must pray to you at the dawning of the light;

29 for the hope of the unthankful will melt as the winter’s hoar frost, and will flow away as water that has no use.
