Sirach 44:11

11 This will persist with their children; their descendants will be a good legacy.

Sirach 44:11 In-Context

9 For some there is no memory, and they perished as though they hadn't existed. These have become as though they hadn't been born, they and even their children after them.

10 But these were compassionate people whose righteous deeds haven't been forgotten.

11 This will persist with their children; their descendants will be a good legacy.

12 Their descendants stand by the covenants, and their children also, for their sake.

13 Their descendants will last forever, and their glory will never be erased.
