11 How can we praise Zerubbabel? He was like a signet ring on the Lord's right hand,
12 as was Joshua son of Jehozadak. They rebuilt the Lord's holy Temple, destined for eternal fame.
13 The memory of Nehemiah is also great. He rebuilt the ruined walls of Jerusalem, installing the gates and bars. He rebuilt our homes.
14 No one else like Enoch has ever walked the face of the earth, for he was taken up from the earth.
15 No one else like Joseph has ever been born; even his bones were honored.
16 Shem, Seth, and Enosh were highly honored, but Adam's glory was above that of any other living being.
