Baruch 6:59-65 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

59. The sun and moon and stars are bright, obedient in the task for which they are sent.

60. Likewise the lightning, when it flashes, is a great sight; and the one wind blows over every land.

61. The clouds, too, when commanded by God to proceed across the whole world, fulfill the command;

62. and fire, sent from on high to burn up the mountains and the forests, carries out its command. But these false gods are not their equal, whether in appearance or in power.

63. So it is unthinkable, and cannot be claimed that they are gods. They can neither execute judgment, nor benefit anyone.

64. Know, therefore, that they are not gods; do not fear them.

65. Kings they can neither curse nor bless.
