2 Kings 23:25-27
GOD’S WORD Translation
25 No king before Josiah had turned to the Lord with all his heart, soul, and strength, as directed in Moses’ Teachings. No other ⌞king⌟ was like Josiah.
26 But the Lord still didn’t turn his hot, burning anger from Judah. After all, Manasseh had done all these things to make him furious. 27 The Lord had said, “I will put Judah out of my sight as I put Israel out of my sight. I will reject Jerusalem, the city that I chose, and I will reject the temple where I said my name would be.”

2 Kings 23:25-27
New International Version
25 Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned(A) to the Lord as he did—with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, in accordance with all the Law of Moses.(B)
26 Nevertheless, the Lord did not turn away from the heat of his fierce anger,(C) which burned against Judah because of all that Manasseh(D) had done to arouse his anger. 27 So the Lord said, “I will remove(E) Judah also from my presence(F) as I removed Israel, and I will reject(G) Jerusalem, the city I chose, and this temple, about which I said, ‘My Name shall be there.’[a]”
