He cried against the altar by the word of Yahweh, and said, altar, altar, thus says Yahweh: Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and on you shall he sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and men's bones shall they burn on you.

And he cried out against the altar by the word of Yahweh and said: “Altar! Altar! Thus says Yahweh, ‘Behold, a son will be born to the house of David, Josiah his name. And he will sacrifice on you the priests of the high places, the ones burning incense on you. And they will burn the bones of a human on you.’”
