Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 43:4

κάμινον φυσῶν ἐν ἔργοις καύματος, τριπλασίως ἥλιος ἐκκαίων ὄρη· ἀτμίδας πυρώδεις ἐκφυσῶν καὶ ἐκλάμπων ἀκτῖνας ἀμαυροῖ ὀφθαλμούς.
King James Version (KJV)

A man blowing a furnace is in works of heat, but the sun burneth the mountains three times more; breathing out fiery vapours, and sending forth bright beams, it dimmeth the eyes.

Modern English

A furnace-tender labors in heat, but the sun burns the mountains three times as fiercely; breathing out fiery vapor and sending out dazzling rays, it blinds the eyes.
