CHAP. XLIX.
The praise of Josias, of Jeremias,
Ezechiel, and the twelve
prophets. Also of Zorobabel,
Jesus the son of Josedech,
Nehemias, Enoch,
Joseph, Seth, Sem, and
Adam.
1 The memory of Josias
is like the composition
of a sweet smell made by the
art of a perfumer:
2 His remembrance shall
-- --
be sweet as honey in every
mouth, and as musick at a
banquet of wine.
3 He was directed by God
unto the repentance of the
nation, and he took away the
abominations of wickedness.
4 And he directed his heart
towards the Lord, and in the
days of sinners he strengthned
godliness.
5 Except David and Ezechias,
and Josias, all committed
sin.
6 For the kings of Juda
forsook the law of the most
High, and despised the fear
of God.
7 So they gave their kingdom
to others, and their glory
to a strange nation.
8 They burnt the chosen
city of holiness and made the
streets thereof desolate according
to the prediction of Jeremias.
9 For they entreated him
evil who was consecrated a
prophet from his mother's
womb to overthrow, and pluck
up, and destroy, and to build
again, and renew.
10 It was Ezechiel who
saw the glorious vision which
was shewed him upon the chariot
of cherubims.
11 For he made mention
of the enemies under the figure
of rain, and of doing good to
them, that shewed right ways.
12 And may the bones
of the twelve prophets spring
up out of their place: for they
strengthened Jacob, and redeemed
themselves by strong
faith.
13 How shall we magnify
Zorobabel, for he was as a signet
on the right hand,
14 In like manner Jesus
the son of Josedec? who in
their days built the house, and
set up a holy temple to the
Lord, prepared for everlasting
glory.
15 And let Nehemias be a
long time remembred, who
raised up for us our walls that
were cast down, and set up
the gates and the bars, who
rebuilt our houses.
16 No man was born upon
earth like Henoch: for he
also was taken up from the
earth.
17 Nor as Joseph, who was
a man born prince of his brethren,
the support of his family,
the ruler of his brethren,
the stay of the people:
18 And his bones were
visited, and after death note
they prophesied.
19 Seth, and Sem obtained
glory among men: and
above every soul Adam in the
beginning.
