And he cried H7121 against H5921 the altar H4196 in the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 and said, H559 O altar, H4196 altar, H4196 thus H3541 said H559 the LORD; H3068 Behold, H2009 a child H1121 shall be born H3205 to the house H1004 of David, H1732 Josiah H2977 by name; H8034 and on you shall he offer H2076 the priests H3548 of the high H1116 places that burn H6999 incense H6999 on you, and men's H120 bones H6106 shall be burnt H8313 on you.

And he brought H935 all H3605 the priests H3548 out of the cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 and defiled H2930 the high H1116 places where H834 H8033 the priests H3548 had burned H6999 incense, H6999 from Geba H1387 to Beersheba, H884 and broke H5422 down the high H1116 places of the gates H8179 that were in the entering H6607 in of the gate H8179 of Joshua H3091 the governor H8269 of the city, H5892 which H834 were on H5921 a man's H376 left H8040 hand at the gate H8179 of the city. H5892

And as Josiah H2977 turned H6437 himself, he spied H7200 the sepulchers H6913 that were there H8033 in the mount, H2022 and sent, H7971 and took H3947 the bones H6106 out of the sepulchers, H6913 and burned H8313 them on the altar, H4196 and polluted H2930 it, according to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 which H834 the man H376 of God H430 proclaimed, H7121 who H834 proclaimed H7121 these H428 words. H1697

And he slew H2076 all H3605 the priests H3548 of the high H1116 places that were there H8033 on the altars, H4196 and burned H8313 men's H120 bones H6106 on them, and returned H7725 to Jerusalem. H3389

For he took H5493 away H5493 the altars H4196 of the strange H5236 gods, and the high H1116 places, and broke H7665 down the images, H4676 and cut H1438 down the groves: H842

Also he took H5493 away H5493 out of all H3605 the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 the high H1116 places and the images: and the kingdom H4467 was quiet H8252 before H6440 him.

Then all H3605 the people H5971 went H935 to the house H1004 of Baal, H1168 and broke H5422 it down, H5422 and broke H7665 his altars H4196 and his images H6754 in pieces, and slew H2026 Mattan H4977 the priest H3548 of Baal H1168 before H6440 the altars. H4196

Now when all H3605 this H2063 was finished, H3615 all H3605 Israel H3478 that were present H4672 went H3318 out to the cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 and broke H7665 the images H4676 in pieces, and cut H1438 down H1438 the groves, H842 and threw H5422 down H5422 the high H1116 places and the altars H4196 out of all H3605 Judah H3063 and Benjamin, H1144 in Ephraim H669 also and Manasseh, H4519 until H5704 they had utterly destroyed H3615 them all. H3605 Then all the children H1121 of Israel H3478 returned, H7725 every man H376 to his possession, H272 into their own cities. H5892

For in the eighth H8083 year H8141 of his reign, H4427 while he was yet H5750 young, H5288 he began H2490 to seek H1875 after the God H430 of David H1732 his father: H1 and in the twelfth H8147 H6240 year H8141 he began H2490 to purge H2891 Judah H3063 and Jerusalem H3389 from the high H1116 places, and the groves, H842 and the carved H6456 images, and the molten H4541 images.

And he burnt H8313 the bones H6106 of the priests H3548 on their altars, H4196 and cleansed H2891 Judah H3063 and Jerusalem. H3389

And when he had broken H5422 down H5422 the altars H4196 and the groves, H842 and had beaten H3807 the graven H6456 images H6456 into powder, H1854 and cut H1438 down H1438 all H3605 the idols H2553 throughout all H3605 the land H776 of Israel, H3478 he returned H7725 to Jerusalem. H3389

By this H2063 therefore H3651 shall the iniquity H5771 of Jacob H3290 be purged; H3722 and this H2088 is all H3605 the fruit H6529 to take H5493 away H5493 his sin; H2403 when he makes H7760 all H3605 the stones H68 of the altar H4196 as chalkstones H68 H1615 that are beaten H5310 in sunder, the groves H842 and images H2553 shall not stand H6965 up.

At that time, H6256 said H5002 the LORD, H3068 they shall bring H3318 out the bones H6106 of the kings H4428 of Judah, H3063 and the bones H6106 of his princes, H8269 and the bones H6106 of the priests, H3548 and the bones H6106 of the prophets, H5030 and the bones H6106 of the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem, H3389 out of their graves: H6913

And death H4194 shall be chosen H977 rather than life H2416 by all H3605 the residue H7611 of them that remain H7604 of this H2063 evil H7451 family, H4940 which remain H7604 in all H3605 the places H4725 where H834 H8033 I have driven H5080 them, said H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts. H6635

And say, H559 You mountains H2022 of Israel, H3478 hear H8085 the word H1697 of the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Thus H3541 said H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 to the mountains, H2022 and to the hills, H1389 to the rivers, H650 and to the valleys; H1516 Behold, H2005 I, even I, will bring H935 a sword H2719 on you, and I will destroy H6 your high H1116 places.

And I will lay H5414 the dead carcasses H6297 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 before H6440 their idols; H1544 and I will scatter H2219 your bones H6106 round H5439 about your altars. H4196

And I set H5414 my tabernacle H4908 among H8432 you: and my soul H5315 shall not abhor H1602 you.

And if H518 you shall despise H3988 my statutes, H2708 or if your soul H5315 abhor H1602 my judgments, H4941 so that you will not do H6213 all H3605 my commandments, H4687 but that you break H6565 my covenant: H1285

And you shall not walk H3212 in the manners H2708 of the nation, H1471 which H834 I cast H7971 out before H6440 you: for they committed H6213 all H3605 these H428 things, and therefore I abhorred H6973 them.

For they provoked him to anger H3707 with their high H1116 places, and moved him to jealousy H7065 with their graven H6456 images. H6456

When God H430 heard H8085 this, he was wroth, H5674 and greatly H3966 abhorred H3988 Israel: H3478

But you have cast H2186 off and abhorred, H3988 you have been wroth H5674 with your anointed. H4899

Have you utterly rejected H3988 Judah? H3063 has your soul H5315 loathed H1602 Zion? H6726 why H4069 have you smitten H5221 us, and there is no H369 healing H4832 for us? we looked H6960 for peace, H7965 and there is no H369 good; H2896 and for the time H6256 of healing, H4832 and behold H2009 trouble!
