Ecclesiasticus 49:1

Ecclesiasticus 49:1 Context

¹The remembrance of Josias is like the composition of the perfume that is made by the art of the apothecary: it is sweet as honey in all mouths, and as musick at a banquet of wine. ²He behaved himself uprightly in the conversion of the people, and took away the abominations of iniquity. ³He directed his heart unto the Lord, and in the time of the ungodly he established the worship of God. ⁴All, except David and Ezekias and Josias, were defective: for they forsook the law of the most High, even the kings of Juda failed.
