Ben Sira 44:11 In-Context

9 There are others who are not remembered, as if they had never lived, who died and were forgotten, they, and their children after them.

10 But we will praise these godly men, whose righteous deeds have never been forgotten.

11 Their reputations will be passed on to their descendants, and this will be their inheritance.

12 Their descendants continue to keep the covenant and always will, because of what their ancestors did.

13 Their family line will go on forever, and their fame will never fade.
