Sirach 44:7

7 all of these were honored in their generation, a source of pride in their time.

Sirach 44:7 In-Context

5 others devising musical melodies, and composing poems;
6 rich people endowed with strength, living in peace in their dwellings—
7 all of these were honored in their generation, a source of pride in their time.
8 Some of them left behind a name so that their praises might be told.
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.
