KJV: Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Geneva: Againe in the ninth yeere, in the tenth moneth, in the tenth day of the moneth, came the worde of the Lord vnto me, saying,

KJV: Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.

Geneva: Sonne of man, write thee the name of the day, euen of this same day: for the King of Babel set himselfe against Ierusalem this same day.

KJV: And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:

Geneva: Therefore speake a parable vnto the rebellious house, and say vnto them, Thus sayth the Lorde God, Prepare a pot, prepare it, and also powre water into it.

KJV: Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.

Geneva: Gather the pieces thereof into it, euen euery good piece, as the thigh and the shoulder, and fill it with the chiefe bones.

KJV: Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.

Geneva: Take one of the best sheepe, and burne also the bones vnder it, and make it boyle well, and seethe the bones of it therein,

KJV: Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.

Geneva: Because the Lorde God sayth thus, Woe to the bloody citie, euen to the pot, whose skomme is therein, & whose skomme is not gone out of it: bring it out piece by piece: let no lot fall vpon it.

KJV: For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;

Geneva: For her blood is in the middes of her: shee set it vpon an high rocke, and powred it not vpon on the ground to couer it with dust,

KJV: That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.

Geneva: That it might cause wrath to arise, & take vengeance: euen I haue set her blood vpon an high rocke that it should not be couered.

KJV: Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.

Geneva: Therefore thus saith ye Lord God, Woe to the bloody citie, for I will make ye burning great.

KJV: Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.

Geneva: Heape on much wood: kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and cast in spice, and let the bones be burnt.

KJV: Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.

Geneva: Then set it emptie vpon the coles thereof, that the brasse of it may be hot, and may burne, and that the filthinesse of it may be molten in it, and that the skomme of it may be consumed.

KJV: She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.

Geneva: She hath wearied her selfe with lyes, and her great skomme went not out of her: therefore her skomme shall be consumed with fire.

KJV: In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.

Geneva: Thou remainest in thy filthines and wickednes: because I would haue purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthines, till I haue caused my wrath to light vpon thee.

KJV: I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.

Geneva: I the Lord haue spoken it: it shall come to passe, and I will doe it: I will not goe backe, neither will I spare, neither will I repent: according to thy wayes, & according to thy workes shall they iudge thee, sayeth the Lord God.

KJV: Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Geneva: Also the worde of ye Lord came vnto me, saying,

KJV: Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.

Geneva: Sonne of man beholde, I take away from thee the pleasure of thine eyes with a plague: yet shalt thou neither mourne nor weepe, neither shal thy teares runne downe.

KJV: Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.

Geneva: Cease from sighing: make no mourning for the dead, and binde the tyre of thine head vpon thee, and put on thy shooes vpon thy feete, and couer not thy lips, and eate not the bread of men.

KJV: So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.

Geneva: So I spake vnto the people in the morning, and at euen my wife dyed: and I did in the morning, as I was commanded.

KJV: And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?

Geneva: And the people said vnto me, Wilt thou not tell vs what these things meane towarde vs that thou doest so?

KJV: Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Geneva: Then I answered them, The worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

KJV: Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.

Geneva: Speake vnto the house of Israel, Thus sayth the Lord God, Behold, I will pollute my Sanctuarie, euen the pride of your power, the pleasure of your eyes, and your hearts desire, and your sonnes, and your daughters whom ye haue left, shall fall by the sworde.

KJV: And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.

Geneva: And ye shall doe as I haue done: ye shall not couer your lippes, neither shall ye eate the bread of men.

KJV: And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.

Geneva: And your tyre shalbe vpon your heads, and your shooes vpon your feete: ye shall not mourne nor weepe, but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourne one toward another.

KJV: Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

Geneva: Thus Ezekiel is vnto you a signe: according to all that he hath done, ye shall do: and when this commeth, ye shall know that I am the Lord God.

KJV: Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,

Geneva: Also, thou sonne of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their power, ye ioy of their honor, ye pleasure of their eyes, & the desire of their heart, their sonnes & their daughters?

KJV: That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?

Geneva: That he that escapeth in that day, shal come vnto thee to tell thee that which hee hath heard with his eares?

KJV: In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Geneva: In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speake, and be no more dumme, & thou shalt be a signe vnto them, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord.
