19He made the moon afor the seasons;

The bsun knows the place of its setting.

20You aappoint darkness so that it becomes night,

In which all the bbeasts of the forest ccreep about.

21The ayoung lions roar to go after their prey

And to bseek their food from God.

22When the sun rises they gather together

And lie down in their adens.

23Man goes forth to ahis work

And to his labor until evening.

And seek their meat from God.

The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together,

And lay them down in their dens.

Man goeth forth unto his work

And to his labour until the evening.
