13 Nehemiah’s memory is lasting;
    he who raised our fallen walls,
    set up gates and bars,
    and rebuilt our buildings.

Miscellaneous ancestors

14 No one was created on the earth
who was like Enoch,
    for he was taken up from the earth.
15 Nor has any man been born like Joseph,
    a leader of his brothers,
    a support for the people.[a]
    They took special care
    even of his bones.
