Sirach 44:9

9 For some there is no memory, and they perished as though they hadn't existed. These have become as though they hadn't been born, they and even their children after them.

Sirach 44:9 In-Context

7 all of these were honored in their generation, a source of pride in their time.
8 Some of them left behind a name so that their praises might be told.
9 For some there is no memory, and they perished as though they hadn't existed. These have become as though they hadn't been born, they and even their children after them.
10 But these were compassionate people whose righteous deeds haven't been forgotten.
11 This will persist with their children; their descendants will be a good legacy.
