Sirach 44:5-10 World English Bible (WEB)

5. Such as sought out musical tunes, And set forth verses in writing:

6. Rich men furnished with ability, Living peaceably in their habitations:

7. All these were honored in their generations, And were a glory in their days.

8. There be of them, that have left a name behind them, To declare their praises.

9. And some there be, which have no memorial; Who are perished as though they had not been, And are become as though they had not been born; And their children after them.

10. But these were men of mercy, Whose righteous deeds have not been forgotten.
