Your altars will be demolished and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will slay your people in front of your idols.

Your altars will be torn down. Your incense altars will be smashed. And I will kill your people in front of the statues of your gods.

Your altars shall become desolate, and your incense altars shall be broken, and I will cast down your slain before your idols.

All your altars will be demolished, and your places of worship will be destroyed. I will kill your people in front of your idols.

So your altars will become deserted and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will make your slain fall in front of your idols.

Then your altars shall be desolate, your incense altars shall be broken, and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.

And your altars shall become desolate, and your sun- images shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.

Your altars will be desolated and your incense altars smashed. I will throw down your slain in front of your idols.

And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain[ men] before your idols.

Your altars will be ruined and your incense altars will be broken. I will throw down your slain in front of your idols.

Your altars will become desolate, and your incense altars will be broken. I will cast down your slain men before your idols.

He also removed the high places and the shrines from all the cities of Judah, and the kingdom experienced peace under him.

I will destroy your high places, cut down your shrines, and heap your lifeless bodies on the lifeless bodies of your idols; I will reject you.

The man of God cried out against the altar by the word of the LORD:“ Altar, altar, this is what the LORD says,‘ A son will be born to the house of David, named Josiah, and he will sacrifice on you the priests of the high places who are burning incense on you. Human bones will be burned on you.’”

You will all know that I am the LORD when their slain lie among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the mountaintops, and under every green tree and every leafy oak— the places where they offered pleasing aromas to all their idols.

I will lay the corpses of the Israelites in front of their idols and scatter your bones around your altars.Wherever you live the cities will be in ruins and the high places will be desolate, so that your altars will lie in ruins and be desecrated, your idols smashed and obliterated, your shrines cut down, and what you have made wiped out.

“ At that time”— this is the LORD’s declaration—“ the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of her officials, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the residents of Jerusalem will be brought out of their graves.They will be exposed to the sun, the moon, and all the stars in the sky, which they have loved, served, followed, consulted, and worshiped. Their bones will not be collected and buried but will become like manure on the soil’s surface.

As Josiah turned, he saw the tombs there on the mountain. He sent someone to take the bones out of the tombs, and he burned them on the altar. He defiled it according to the word of the LORD proclaimed by the man of God who proclaimed these things.Then he said,“ What is this monument I see?” The men of the city told him,“ It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things that you have done to the altar at Bethel.”So he said,“ Let him rest. Don’t let anyone disturb his bones.” So they left his bones undisturbed with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria.Josiah also removed all the shrines of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to anger the LORD. Josiah did the same things to them that he had done at Bethel.He slaughtered on the altars all the priests of those high places, and he burned human bones on the altars. Then he returned to Jerusalem.

He broke the sacred pillars into pieces, cut down the Asherah poles, then filled their places with human bones.

Then in his presence the altars of the Baals were torn down, and he chopped down the shrines that were above them. He shattered the Asherah poles, the carved images, and the cast images, crushed them to dust, and scattered them over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.He burned the bones of the priests on their altars. So he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.

He will smash the sacred pillars of the sun temple in the land of Egypt and burn the temples of the Egyptian gods.’”
