Ben Sira 44:11

11 their wealth will remain with their descendants, and their inheritance with their children's children.

Ben Sira 44:11 In-Context

9 But of others there is no memory; they have perished as though they had never existed; they have become as though they had never been born, they and their children after them.
10 But these also were godly men, whose righteous deeds have not been forgotten;
11 their wealth will remain with their descendants, and their inheritance with their children's children.
12 Their descendants stand by the covenants; their children also, for their sake.
13 Their offspring will continue forever, and their glory will never be blotted out.
