Sirach 49:1-2
Wycliffe Bible
49 The mind (or the memory) of Josiah made in the making of odour, is (like) the work of a pigment-maker. In each mouth his mind (or his memory) shall be made (as) sweet as honey, and as music [or as melody] in the feast of wine.
2 He was (ad)dressed (or directed) of (or by) God in the penance of (the) folk, for he brought the people of his realm to penance for their sins, and to the worshipping of (the) very (or the true) God, and destroyed idolatry; and he took away the abominations of wickedness. [He is even right godly in the penance of (the) folk; and he took away the abominations of unpiousness.]
