Ben Sira 49:1-3
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

Chapter 49

Josiah and the Prophets[a]

1 The name Josiah is like blended incense,
    made lasting by a skilled perfumer.(A)
Precious is his memory, like honey to the taste,
    like music at a banquet.
2 For he grieved over our betrayals,
    and destroyed the abominable idols.
3 He kept his heart fixed on God,
    and in times of lawlessness practiced virtue.
