Sirach 44:7
King James VersionSource notes
“All these were honoured in their generations, and were the glory of their times.”
Context
4Leaders of the people by their counsels, and by their knowledge of learning meet for the people, wise and eloquent are their instructions:
5Such as found out musical tunes, and recited verses in writing:
6Rich men furnished with ability, living peaceably in their habitations:
7All these were honoured in their generations, and were the glory of their times.
8There be of them, that have left a name behind them, that their praises might be reported.
9And some there be, which have no memorial; who are perished, as though they had never been; and are become as though they had never been born; and their children after them.
10But these were merciful men, whose righteousness hath not been forgotten.
