Much honored portion of the Highest, and and His greatness from the days of old
The earth's generations in their kingdoms, and the people of renown in their might; counselors in their understanding, and seers in their prophecy.
Noblemen of nations in their designs, rulers in their plans; wise thinkers in their books, and proverb-tellers in their preserved works.
Composers of psalms by decree, princes of proverbs by writing.
Men of valor and steadfast power, and tranquil upon their foundations.
All these in their generations, in their days, were renowned.
