2 Kings 23:25-27

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁵ No king before Josiah had turned to the Lord with all his heart, soul, and strength, as directed in Moses’ Teachings. No other ⌞king⌟ was like Josiah.

²⁶ But the Lord still didn’t turn his hot, burning anger from Judah. After all, Manasseh had done all these things to make him furious. ²⁷ The Lord had said, “I will put Judah out of my sight as I put Israel out of my sight. I will reject Jerusalem, the city that I chose, and I will reject the temple where I said my name would be.”
