Sirach 46:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ May the memories of the judges
bring blessings,
    each with their own name,
    whose hearts remained faithful
        and who didn’t turn away from the Lord.
¹² May their bones send forth new shoots of life from their burial places,
    and their names,
    honored by all humanity,
    continue in their descendants.^[a]

¹³ Samuel was dearly loved by his Lord.
    As a prophet from the Lord,
    he established a kingdom
    and anointed rulers over his people.
