The remembrance of Yoshiyahu is like a compound of incense prepared by the work of a perfumer. In every mouth it is sweet like honey and like music at a wine-feast.
2
He was upright in turning the people back and removed the detestable things of lawlessness.
3
He directed his heart toward Yahuah; in days of lawless ones he strengthened reverence.
4
Apart from Daviyd, Chizqiyahu, and Yoshiyahu, all committed transgression; for the kings of Yehudah forsook the Torah of El Elyon and came to an end.
5
They gave their horn to others and their splendor to a foreign nation.
6
They burned the chosen city of the set-apart place and made her Ways desolate
7
by the hand of Yirmeyahu. For they afflicted him, though he was set apart as a prophet in the womb: to uproot, afflict, and destroy, and likewise to build and plant.
8
Yechezqel saw a vision of splendor which He showed him upon the chariot of Kerubim.
9
For he remembered the enemies in the rainstorm and worked good for those who directed their Ways.
10
May the bones of the twelve prophets blossom from their place, for they strengthened Yaaqov and redeemed them by trustworthy hope.
11
How shall we make Zerubbavel great? He was like a seal upon the right hand.
12
So also Yahushua son of Yehotzadaq; in their days they built the House and raised a set-apart Temple for Yahuah, prepared for everlasting splendor.
13
The remembrance of Nechemyah is also great; he raised our fallen walls, established gates and bars, and rebuilt our dwelling-sites.
14
No one like Chanokh was created upon the earth, for he was taken up from the earth.
15
Nor was an ish born like Yoseph, ruler of brothers and support of the people; even his bones were visited.
16
Shem and Sheth received splendor among sons of Adam, and above every living creature in creation was Adam.
