3
There were those who ruled in their kingdoms, and were men renowned for their power, giving counsel by their understanding, and proclaiming prophecies;
4
leaders of the people in their deliberations and in understanding of learning for the people, wise in their words of instruction;
5
those who composed musical tunes, and set forth verses in writing;
6
rich men furnished with resources, living peaceably in their habitations --
7
all these were honored in their generations, and were the glory of their times.
