Sirach 44:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ All these have gained glory in their generations, and were praised in their days.

⁸ They that were born of them have left a name behind them, that their praises might be related:

⁹ And there are some, of whom there is no memorial: who are perished, as if they had never been: and are become as if they had never been born, and their children with them.
