World English Bible Classic
[1] The memory of Josiah is like the composition of incense
prepared by the work of the perfumer.
It will be sweet as honey in every mouth,
and like music at a banquet of wine.
[2] He did what was right in the reforming of the people,
and took away the abominations of iniquity.
[3] He set his heart right toward the Lord.
In lawless days, he made godliness prevail. [4] Except David, Hezekiah, and Josiah,
all were wicked,
because they abandoned the law of the Most High.
The kings of Judah came to an end.
[5] They gave their power to others,
and their glory to a foreign nation.
[6] They set the chosen city of the sanctuary on fire
and made her streets desolate, as it was written by the hand of Jeremiah.
[7] For they mistreated him;
yet he was sanctified in the womb to be a prophet,
to root out, to afflict, to destroy
and likewise to build and to plant. [8] Ezekiel saw the vision of glory,
which God showed him on the chariot of the cherubim.
[9] For truly he remembered the enemies in rainstorm,
and to do good to those who directed their ways aright.
[10] Also of the twelve prophets,ⓘ
may their bones flourish again out of their place.
He comforted the people of Jacob,
and delivered them by confident hope. [11] How shall we magnify Zerubbabel?
He was like a signet ring on the right hand.
[12] So was Jesus the son of Josedek,
who in their days built the house,
and exalted a‡ people holy to the Lord,
prepared for everlasting glory.
[13] Also of Nehemiah the memory is great.
He raised up for us fallen walls,
set up the gates and bars,
and rebuilt our houses. [14] No man was created upon the earth like Enoch,
for he was taken up from the earth.
[15] Nor was there a man born like Joseph,
a leader of his kindred, a supporter of the people.
Even his bones were cared for.
[16] Shem and Seth were honored among men,
but above every living thing in the creation was Adam.
