Sirach 46:11-13

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

The Judges

¹¹The judges also, with their respective names,
    whose hearts did not fall into idolatry
and who did not turn away from the Lord—
    may their memory be blessed!
¹²May their bones send forth new life from where they lie,
    and may the names of those who have been honoured
    live again in their children!

¹³Samuel was beloved by his Lord;
a prophet of the Lord, he established the kingdom
and anointed rulers over his people.
