2 Kings 23:24-26

Contemporary English Version

The Lord Is Still Angry with the People of Judah

²⁴ Josiah got rid of every disgusting person and thing in Judah and Jerusalem—including magicians, fortunetellers, and idols. He did his best to obey every law written in the book that the priest Hilkiah found in the Lord's temple. ²⁵ No other king before or after Josiah tried as hard as he did to obey the Law of Moses.

²⁶ But the Lord was still furious with the people of Judah because Manasseh had done so many things to make him angry.
