By the word of the Lord he cried out against the altar:“ Altar, altar! This is what the Lord says:‘ A son named Josiah will be born to the house of David. On you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who make offerings here, and human bones will be burned on you.’”

The man cried out. He shouted a message from the Lord against the altar. He said,“ Altar! Altar! The Lord says,‘ A son named Josiah will be born into the royal family of David. Altar, listen to me! Josiah will sacrifice the priests of the high places on you. They will be the children of the priests who are offering sacrifices here. So human bones will be burned on you.’ ”

And the man cried against the altar by the word of the Lord and said,“ O altar, altar, thus says the Lord:‘ Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name, and he shall sacrifice on you the priests of the high places who make offerings on you, and human bones shall be burned on you.’”

Then at the Lord’s command, he shouted,“ O altar, altar! This is what the Lord says: A child named Josiah will be born into the dynasty of David. On you he will sacrifice the priests from the pagan shrines who come here to burn incense, and human bones will be burned on you.”

The man of God cried out against the altar by the word of the LORD:“ Altar, altar, this is what the LORD says,‘ A son will be born to the house of David, named Josiah, and he will sacrifice on you the priests of the high places who are burning incense on you. Human bones will be burned on you.’”

And he cried out against the altar by the word of the Lord and said,“ Altar, altar, this is what the Lord says:‘ Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and human bones shall burn on you.’ ”

Then he cried out against the altar by the word of the Lord, and said,“ O altar, altar! Thus says the Lord:‘ Behold, a child, Josiah by name, shall be born to the house of David; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and men’s bones shall be burned on you.’”

And he cried against the altar by the word of Jehovah, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith Jehovah: Behold, a son shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he sacrifice the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall they burn upon thee.

The man of God cried out against the altar by a revelation from the Lord:“ Altar, altar, this is what the Lord says,‘ A son will be born to the house of David, named Josiah, and he will sacrifice on you the priests of the high places who are burning incense on you. Human bones will be burned on you.’”

And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall be burnt upon thee.

With the authority of the LORD he cried out against the altar,“ O altar, altar! This is what the LORD says,‘ Look, a son named Josiah will be born to the Davidic dynasty. He will sacrifice on you the priests of the high places who offer sacrifices on you. Human bones will be burned on you.’”

He cried against the altar by Yahweh’s word, and said,“ Altar! Altar! Yahweh says:‘ Behold, a son will be born to David’s house, Josiah by name. On you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men’s bones on you.’”

「諸天啊，請留心聽；大地啊，請聽我說。

「人子啊，你要向以色列的山嶺發預言說，『以色列的山嶺啊，你們要聽耶和華的話！

眾人在他面前拆毀巴力的祭壇，他砍掉高高的香壇，又把亞舍拉神像及雕刻和鑄造的偶像磨成粉末，撒在祭拜它們之人的墳墓上，把它們祭司的骸骨放在它們的壇上焚燒。這樣，他潔淨了猶大和耶路撒冷。約西亞還在瑪拿西、以法蓮、西緬，遠至拿弗他利的各城邑及其周圍的荒廢之地做了同樣的事情。他拆毀祭壇和亞舍拉神像，把偶像磨成粉末，砍掉以色列境內所有的香壇，然後回到耶路撒冷。

諸天啊，請聽！大地啊，要側耳聽！耶和華說：「我把孩子撫育成人，他們竟然背叛我。

約西亞八歲登基，在耶路撒冷執政三十一年。他母親叫耶底大，是波斯加人亞大雅的女兒。約西亞做耶和華視為正的事，事事效法他祖先大衛，不偏不離。

所以，在很久以前，事情還沒有發生時就向你預言這些事，免得你說這些是你的偶像做的，是你雕刻和鑄造的偶像命定的。「你已經聽見了，看看這一切，難道你還不承認嗎？現在我要把新事，把你不知道的隱秘事告訴你。這些事過去沒有，現在才有，在今天以前你從未聽過，免得你說，『這些事我早就知道了。』

「你要高聲呼喊，不要停止；要放聲高呼，像響亮的號角。要向我的子民宣告他們的過犯，向雅各家宣告他們的罪惡。

大地啊，大地啊，大地啊，要聽耶和華的話！

他拆掉伯特利高崗上的祭壇，即尼八的兒子耶羅波安誘使以色列人犯罪時建造的祭壇，把祭壇燒毀，搗碎成灰，又焚燒亞舍拉神像。約西亞轉身看見山上的墳墓，就派人取出墓中的屍骨，放在那祭壇上焚燒，污瀆了那祭壇，應驗了耶和華藉祂的僕人所說的預言。約西亞問：「我看到的那墓碑是誰的？」那城裡的人告訴他：「是上帝僕人的，他曾從猶大來預言你對伯特利祭壇所做的這些事。」他說：「不要動他，不要動他的屍骨。」於是，他們沒有動那位先知和撒瑪利亞來的先知的屍骨。

我使我僕人的話應驗，使我使者的計劃成就。我說耶路撒冷必有人居住，我說猶大的城邑必重建起來，從廢墟中重建起來。我對深海說，『枯乾吧！我要使你的河流乾涸』；我說塞魯士是我的牧人，他必完成我的旨意，他會下令重建耶路撒冷，降旨奠定聖殿的根基。

我從太初就預言末後的事，從亙古就宣佈將來的事。我的旨意必成就，我的計劃必實現。

耶穌說：「我告訴你們，如果他們閉口不言，這些石頭都要呼喊了！」

因此，以色列的山嶺、溪流、幽谷、荒地、廢墟以及那些被外族人擄掠和譏諷的城邑啊，你們要聽主耶和華的話。』

因為他奉耶和華的命令咒詛伯特利的祭壇和撒瑪利亞各城的神廟的話必應驗。」

我要把你調轉過來，用鉤子鉤住你的腮，把你和你那些全副武裝、拿著大小盾牌、揮動刀劍的軍隊、馬匹和騎兵都拖出來。

看啊，以前的預言都已應驗，我現在要宣告新的預言，把還未發生的事告訴你們。」

約西亞八歲登基，在耶路撒冷執政三十一年。
