But what they declare [about God] goes throughout the world, and [even people who live in] the most distant/remote places on earth can know it. The sun is in the skies where God placed it [MET];
5 and he/she/it like/as son-in-law to come out: come from canopy his to rejoice like/as mighty man to/for to run: run way
it rises each morning like a bridegroom [who is happy] as he comes out of his bedroom after his wedding. It is like a strong athlete who is very eager to start running in a race.
6 from end [the] heaven exit his and circuit his upon end their and nothing to hide from heat his
The sun rises at one side of the sky and goes across [the sky and sets on] the other side, and nothing can hide from its heat.
