Sirach 44
Config
1 Let us now praise famous men, And our fathers that begat us.
2 The Lord [1]manifested in them great glory, Even his mighty power from the beginning.
3 Such as did bear rule in their kingdoms, And were men renowned for their power, [2]Giving counsel by their understanding, Such as have brought tidings [3]in prophecies:
4 Leaders of the people by their counsels, And by their understanding [4] men of learning for the people; Wise were their words in their instruction:
5 [5]Such as sought out musical tunes, And set forth verses in writing:
6 Rich men furnished with ability, Living peaceably in their habitations:
7 All these were honoured in their generations, And were a glory in their days.
8 There be of them, that have left a name behind them, To declare their praises.
9 And some there be, which have no memorial; Who are perished as though they had not been, [6]And are become as though they had not been born; And their children after them.
10 But these were men of mercy, Whose righteous deeds have not been forgotten.
11 [7]With their seed shall remain continually a good inheritance; Their children are [8]within the covenants.
12 Their seed standeth fast, And their children for their sakes.
13 Their seed shall remain for ever, And their glory shall [9]not be blotted out.
14 [10]Their bodies were buried in peace, And their name liveth to all generations.
15 [11]Peoples will declare their wisdom, And the congregation telleth out their praise.
16 [12]ENOCH pleased the Lord, and was translated, Being an example of repentance to all generations.
17 [13]Noah was found perfect and righteous; In the season of wrath he was taken in exchange for the world; [14]Therefore was there left a remnant unto the earth, When the flood came.
18 [15]Everlasting covenants were made with him, That all flesh should no more be blotted out by a flood.
19 [16]ABRAHAM was a great father of a multitude of nations; And there was none found like him in glory;
20 Who kept the law of the Most High, And was taken into covenant with him: [17]In his flesh he established the covenant; And [18]when he was proved, he was found faithful.
21 [19]Therefore he assured him by an oath, That the nations should be blessed in his seed; That he would multiply him [20]as the dust of the earth, And exalt his seed [21]as the stars, And cause them to inherit from sea to sea, And [22]from the River unto the utmost part of the earth.
22 [23]In Isaac also did he establish likewise, for Abraham his father's sake, The blessing of all men, and the covenant:
23 And [24]he made it rest upon the head of Jacob; He acknowledged him in his blessings, And gave to him by inheritance, And divided his portions; [25]Among twelve tribes did he part them.
