10 But these were men of mercy,

whose righteous deeds have not been forgotten;

11 their prosperity will remain with their descendants,

and their inheritance to their children’s children.d

12 Their descendants stand by the covenants;

their children also, for their sake.

13 Their posterity will continue for ever,

and their glory will not be blotted out.

14 Their bodies were buried in peace,

and their name lives to all generations.

15 Peoples will declare their wisdom,

and the congregation proclaims their praise.
