Ben Sira 41:12

12 Have regard for your name, since it will outlive you longer than a thousand hoards of gold.

Ben Sira 41:12 In-Context

10 Whatever comes from earth returns to earth; so the ungodly go from curse to destruction.

11 The human body is a fleeting thing, but a virtuous name will never be blotted out.

12 Have regard for your name, since it will outlive you longer than a thousand hoards of gold.

13 The days of a good life are numbered, but a good name lasts forever.

14 My children, be true to your training and be at peace; hidden wisdom and unseen treasure— of what value is either?
