1 Kings 13:1-3

Modern English Version

The Man of God From Judah

13 A man of God came out of Judah to Bethel by the word of the Lord while Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. ² He cried against the altar by the word of the Lord and said, “O altar, altar, thus says the Lord: ‘A child named Josiah will be born in the house of David, and he will sacrifice upon you the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and these men’s bones shall be burned upon you.’ ” ³ He gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign that the Lord has spoken: ‘The altar will be torn apart, and the ashes that are upon it will be poured out.’ ”
