Sirach 44.1, 8, 10-15

Hymn in Honour of Our Ancestors *

44Let us now sing the praises of famous men,
   our ancestors in their generations.
8 Some of them have left behind a name,
   so that others declare their praise.
10 But these also were godly men,
   whose righteous deeds have not been forgotten;
11 their wealth will remain with their descendants,
   and their inheritance with their children’s children.*
12 Their descendants stand by the covenants;
   their children also, for their sake.
13 Their offspring will continue for ever,
   and their glory will never be blotted out.
14 Their bodies are buried in peace,
   but their name lives on generation after generation.
15 The assembly declares* their wisdom,
   and the congregation proclaims their praise.
