1 The memory of Josiah is like the composition of incense
2 He did what was right in the reforming of the people,
3 He set his heart right towards the Lord.
4 Except David, Hezekiah, and Josiah,
5 They gave their power to others,
6 They set the chosen city of the sanctuary on fire
7 For they mistreated him;
8 Ezekiel saw the vision of glory,
9 For truly he remembered the enemies in rainstorm,
10 Also of the twelve prophets,[a]
11 How shall we magnify Zerubbabel?
12 So was Jesus the son of Josedek, and exalted a[b] people holy to the Lord,
13 Also of Nehemiah the memory is great.
14 No man was created upon the earth like Enoch,
15 Nor was there a man born like Joseph,
16 Shem and Seth were honoured amongst men,
