4 And there are those who rule over the present generation, by the virtue of prudence, with very holy words for the people.
5 There are those who, by their skill, compose musical themes, so as to set the verses of Scripture to music.
6 There are men rich in virtue, who make a study of beauty, who live in peacefulness in their houses.
7 All these obtained glory in their generations, and they had praise in their days.
8 They left behind a name for those who were born of them, so that their praises might be described.
9 But for some of them, there is no memorial. They have passed away as if they had never existed; and they have become as if they had never been born, and their sons along with them.
10 But these were men of mercy, whose pious deeds have not failed.
