1 Esdras 4:34-36

Common English Bible

³⁴ “Gentlemen, aren’t women strong? The earth is great, heaven is high, and the sun is swift in its course, for it circles the heavens and returns again to its place in a single day. ³⁵ Isn’t the one who does these things great? Yet truth is also great and superior still to all of these things. ³⁶ The whole earth calls on truth, and heaven praises it. All of heaven’s works^[a] move and tremble at the sight of it, and there’s nothing wrong with truth.
