And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.
Jeremiah mourned for Josiah. The singers, both men and women, included stories about Josiah in their sad songs. These songs became a rule in Israel and are still written down in the lamentations.
