Then he had another dream and told it to his brothers. “Look,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun, moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”

“When you look to the heavens and see the sun, moon, and stars ​— ​all the stars in the sky ​— ​do not be led astray to bow in worship to them and serve them. The LORD your God has provided them for all people everywhere under heaven.

“and has gone to serve other gods by bowing in worship to the sun, moon, or all the stars in the sky ​— ​which I have forbidden ​— ​

On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke to the LORD in the presence of Israel:

“Sun, stand still over Gibeon,

and moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”

Then he did away with the idolatrous priests the kings of Judah had appointed to burn incense at the high places in the cities of Judah and in the areas surrounding Jerusalem. They had burned incense to Baal, and to the sun, moon, constellations, and all the stars in the sky.

If even the moon does not shine

and the stars are not pure in his sight,

if I have gazed at the sun when it was shining

or at the moon moving in splendor,

When I observe your heavens,

the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which you set in place,

May they fear you[fn] while the sun endures

and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.

May the righteous[fn] flourish in his days

and well-being abound

until the moon is no more.

“like the moon, established forever,

a faithful witness in the sky.”Selah

He made the moon to mark the[fn] festivals;[fn]

the sun knows when to set.

The sun will not strike you by day

or the moon by night.

the moon and stars to rule by night.

His faithful love endures forever.

Praise him, sun and moon;

praise him, all you shining stars.

before the sun and the light are darkened,

and the moon and the stars,

and the clouds return after[fn] the rain;

Who is this who shines like the dawn,

as beautiful as the moon,

bright as the sun,

awe-inspiring as an army with banners?

Indeed, the stars of the sky and its constellations[fn]

will not give their light.

The sun will be dark when it rises,

and the moon will not shine.

The moonlight will be as bright as the sunlight, and the sunlight will be seven times brighter ​— ​like the light of seven days ​— ​on the day that the LORD bandages his people’s injuries and heals the wounds he inflicted.

The sun will no longer be your light by day,

and the brightness of the moon will not shine on you.

The LORD will be your everlasting light,

and your God will be your splendor.

“They will be exposed to the sun, the moon, and all the stars in the sky, which they have loved, served, followed, consulted, and worshiped. Their bones will not be collected and buried but will become like manure on the soil’s surface.

“This is what the LORD says:

The one who gives the sun for light by day,

the fixed order of moon and stars for light by night,

who stirs up the sea and makes its waves roar —

the LORD of Armies is his name:

“ ‘When I snuff you out,

I will cover the heavens

and darken their stars.

I will cover the sun with a cloud,

and the moon will not give its light.

The earth quakes before them;

the sky shakes.

The sun and moon grow dark,

and the stars cease their shining.

The sun will be turned to darkness

and the moon to blood

before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes.

The sun and moon will grow dark,

and the stars will cease their shining.

Sun and moon stand still in their lofty residence,

at the flash of your flying arrows,

at the brightness of your shining spear.
