Reformation without Revival

Of the 19 Kings of Judah 9 were good and 5 of these led the nation in social, moral and religious reformation. Yet in every case these reformations were followed by periods of a great falling away. The greatest reform the nation ever knew was under Josiah. Yet not 20 years after the nation was led away into the Babylonian Captivity. Jeremiah a contemporary of Josiah gives us God's assessment of reformation without revival.
