Ben Sira 44:7

7 all these were honored in their generations, and were the glory of their times.

Ben Sira 44:7 In-Context

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.
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.
