1 Esdras

1 Esdras 1:32

καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ᾿Ιουδαίᾳ ἐπένθησαν τὸν ᾿Ιωσίαν, καὶ ἐθρήνησεν ῾Ιερεμίας ὁ προφήτης ὑπὲρ ᾿Ιωσίου, καὶ οἱ προκαθήμενοι σὺν γυναιξὶν ἐθρηνοῦσαν αὐτὸν ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης· καὶ ἐξεδόθη τοῦτο γίνεσθαι ἀεὶ εἰς ἅπαν τὸ γένος ᾿Ισραήλ.
King James Version (KJV)

And in all Jewry they mourned for Josias, yea, Jeremy the prophet lamented for Josias, and the chief men with the women made lamentation for him unto this day: and this was given out for an ordinance to be done continually in all the nation of Israel.

Modern English

All Judea mourned for Josiah; Jeremiah the prophet lamented him, and the leading men, together with the women, mourned him to this day — and it was made a lasting custom throughout the whole nation of Israel.
