Ben Sira 44:9

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.

Ben Sira 44:9 In-Context

7 All of these were famous in their own times, honored by the people of their day.

8 Some of them left a reputation, and people still praise them today.

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.
