Sirach 49:1-5

{49:1} The memory of Josiah is like a blend of fragrances composed by the work of a perfumer.
{49:2} His remembrance will be sweet like honey in every mouth, and like music at a banquet of wine.
{49:3} He was divinely directed for the repentance of the nation, and he took away the abominations of impiety.
{49:4} And he guided his heart toward the Lord. And during the days of sinners, he strengthened piety.
{49:5} Other than David, and Hezekiah, and Josiah, everyone committed sin.
