8
There are some of them who have left a name, so that men declare their praise.
9
And there are some who have no memorial, who have perished as though they had not lived; they have become as though they had not been born, and so have their children after them.
10
But these were men of mercy, whose righteous deeds have not been forgotten;
11
their prosperity will remain with their descendants, and their inheritance to their children's children.
12
Their descendants stand by the covenants; their children also, for their sake.
