Baruch 6:57
Shall take from them the gold, and silver, and the raiment wherewith they are clothed, and shall go their way, neither shall they help themselves.

Baruch 6:59
The sun, and the moon, and the stars being bright, and sent forth for profitable uses, are obedient.

Baruch 6:60
In like manner the lightning, when it breaketh forth, is easy to be seen: and after the same manner the wind bloweth in every country.
