5 poets, and composers of music,
6 rich and powerful men living peacefully at home.
7 All these were famous in their own times,honoured by the people of their day.
8 Some left a reputation,and people still praise them today.
9 There are others who are not remembered,as if they had never lived,they died and were forgotten,they, and their children after them.
10 But we will praise these godly men,whose righteous deeds have never been forgotten.
11 Their reputations will be passed on to their descendants,and this will be their inheritance.
