25. most of all Jeremiah. All the singing men and women repeat his lamentations over Josiah, even to the present day. And this has become like a law in Israel. Behold, it is found written in the Lamentations.
26. Now the rest of the words of Josiah, and his mercies, which were instructed by the law of the Lord,
27. and also his works, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
