Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.

Verse 17 is found in chapter 22 of 2 Kings. Huldah the prophetess announces that the judgment against Jerusalem will certainly come because of the people’s unfaithfulness. Yet God distinguishes Josiah’s personal response: because of his humility and repentance, he will not personally witness the announced disaster. This section prevents the reform from being presented as automatically capable of canceling all accumulated judgment. God’s word remains serious, while also recognizing the individual’s humble response. Josiah therefore receives an urgent mission: to act faithfully during the remaining time before the announced judgment arrives.
