2 Chronicles 34:3 (ESV)
For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet a boy, he began to seek the God of David his father, and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherim, and the carved and the metal images.

There can be little doubt that Josiah’s political and economic success increased enthusiasm for his religious reforms. When Jeremiah said, “Judah did not return to me with her whole heart, but in pretense, says the Lord” (Jer 3:10), he may have been referring to the fact that the people were more anxious about Josiah’s political accomplishments than they were in genuine experience of real religion.
Amos 5:18–20 (ESV)
Woe to you who desire the day of the Lord!
Why would you have the day of the Lord?
It is darkness, and not light,
as if a man fled from a lion,
and a bear met him,
or went into the house and leaned his hand against the wall,
and a serpent bit him.
Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light,
and gloom with no brightness in it?
Paul House
It takes the ravages of the Day of Yahweh to melt away the wicked segment of the chosen people and bring forth the remnant.
Ephesians 2:4–5 (ESV)
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
Dane Ortlund
In his justice, God is exacting in his mercy, God is overflowing.
