Ben Sira 44:8

8 There be some of them that have left a name behind them, that their praises might be reported.

Ben Sira 44:8 In-Context

6 rich men furnished with ability, living peaceably in their habitations.

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

8 There be some of them that have left a name behind them, that their praises might be reported.

9 And some there be, who have no memorial, who have perished, as though they had never been, and have become as though they had never been born, and their children after them.

10 But these were merciful men, whose righteousness hath not been forgotten.
