Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 38:30

ἐν βραχίονι αὐτοῦ τυπώσει πηλὸν καὶ πρὸ ποδῶν κάμψει ἰσχὺν αὐτοῦ· καρδίαν ἐπιδώσει συντελέσαι τὸ χρῖσμα, καὶ ἡ ἀγρυπνία αὐτοῦ καθαρίσαι κάμινον.
King James Version (KJV)

He fashioneth the clay with his arm, and boweth down his strength before his feet; he applieth himself to lead it over; and he is diligent to make clean the furnace:

Modern English

he molds the clay with his arm and bends his strength beneath his feet; he gives himself to glazing it properly, and takes care to keep the kiln clean.
