Sirach 39:11
If they live a long time, they will leave behind a name greater than a thousand names, and if they find rest, it will be enough for them.
He shall shew forth the discipline he hath learned, and shall glory in the law of the covenant of the Lord.
If he lives to old age, he will die famous, but if he is laid to rest before he is famous, he will be content.
While he lives he is one out of a thousand, and when he dies he leaves a good name.
If his life span is great, his name will be more glorious than those of a thousand other people; and if he dies, that will be all right with him.
If he lives long, he will leave a name greater than a thousand, and if he goes to rest, it is enough for him.
If he lives long, he will leave a name greater than a thousand, and if he goes to rest, it is enough for him.
If he lives long, he will leave a name greater than a thousand, and if he goes to rest, it is enough for him.
If they live long, they will leave a name greater than a thousand, and if they go to rest, it is enough for them.
if he lives long, he will leave a name greater than a thousand, and if he goes to rest, it is enough for him.
if he lives long, he will leave a name greater than a thousand, and if he goes to rest, it is enough for him.
If his name dwelleth, he shall leave more than a thousand; and if he resteth, it shall profit to him.
