The Great Bible 1539
| 24:1 | In the nynth yeare, in the tenth moneth, the tenth daye of the moneth, came the worde of the Lord vnto me, sayenge. |
| 24:2 | O thou sonne of man, wryte vp the name of thys daye, yee, euen the houre of this present daye: when the kyng of Babylon sett hym selfe against Ierusalem. |
| 24:3 | Shew that obstinate housholde a parable, and speake vnto them: Thus sayeth the Lorde God: Gett the a potte, sett it on, and powre water into it: |
| 24:4 | put all the peces together in it, all the good peces: the loyne & the shulder, and fyl it with the best bones. |
| 24:5 | Take one of the best shepe, & an heape of bones withall: let it boyle well, & lett the bones sethe well therin. |
| 24:6 | With that sayde the Lorde God on thys maner. Wo be vnto the bloudy cytie of the pot, wherupon the rustynes hangeth, & is not yet scoured awaye. Take out the peces that are in it, one after another: there neade not lottes be cast therfore, |
| 24:7 | for the bloude is yet in it. Upon a playne drye stone hath she powred it, & not vpon the grounde, that it myght be couered wt dust. |
| 24:8 | And therfore haue I letten her powre her bloude vpon a playne drye stony rocke, because it shulde not be hyd, and that I myght brynge my wrothfull indignacyon & vengeaunce vpon her. |
| 24:9 | Wherfore, thus sayth the Lord God: O, wo be vnto the bloud thurstye cyte, for whom euen I my selfe will make a grett fyre and sett moche woode, |
| 24:10 | and kyndell the fyre and seath the fleashe, and spice the pott, so that the very bones shall be brent. |
| 24:11 | Moreouer I will sett the pott empty vpon the coles, so that his metall shall be brent & molten also for heate, & the fylthynes of yt shall be molten in yt, & the drosse of yt shal be consumed. |
| 24:12 | Thou tokest great payne thys to defyle thy selfe. And yt will not be purged from the exceadinge drosse in yt: but thorow fyre shall the drosse of yt be puryfyed. |
| 24:13 | In thy fylthynes euen in thy myscheuous dedes, thou dost contynue & because thy fylthynesse is abhominable, for I haue clensed the, but thou art not clensed. Thou shalt not be pourged from thyne vnclennesse, tyll I haue powred my wrothful indygnacion vpon the. |
| 24:14 | Euen I the Lorde haue so deuysed. Yee, it is come therto all redy, that I wyll do it. I will not go backe, I will not spare, I will not be intreated: but accordinge to thy wayes & ymaginacions, thou shalt be punyshed, sayeth the Lorde God. |
| 24:15 | And the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saieng: |
| 24:16 | Thou sonne of man, beholde, I will take awaye the pleasure of thyne eyes wt a plage: yet shalt thou nether mourne, ner wepe, ner water thy chekes therfore: |
| 24:17 | thou mayest mourne by thy self alone, but vse no deadly lamentacion. Holde on thy bonet, and put on thy shoes vpon thy fete, couer not thy face, & eat no mourners bread. |
| 24:18 | So I spake vnto the people by times in the mornyng, & at euen my wyfe dyed: then vpon the next morowe, I dyd as I was commaunded. |
| 24:19 | And the people sayd vnto me, wilt thou not tell vs what thys signifyeth towarde vs, for this thou doest for our sake. |
| 24:20 | I answered them, the worde of the Lorde came vnto me sayeng: |
| 24:21 | Tell the house of Israell, thus sayeth the Lorde God: beholde, I will suspende my sanctuary: euen the glory of your power, the pleasure of your eyes, and the thing that ye loue: your sonnes and daughters whom ye haue left, shal fall thorow the swearde. |
| 24:22 | Lyke as I haue done, so shall ye do also: Ye shall not hyde your faces, ye shall eate no mourners bread: |
| 24:23 | your bonnettes shall ye haue vpon your heades, & shoes vpon your fete. Ye shall nether mourne ner wepe, but, in your synnes ye shalbe sorowfull, & one repente with another. |
| 24:24 | Thus Ezechiel is your shew token. For loke as he hath done, so (when this commeth) ye shall do also: that ye maye lerne to knowe, that I am the Lorde God. |
| 24:25 | But beholde, O thou sonne of man: In the daye when I take from them theyr power, theyr ioye & honour, the lust of theyr eyes, the burthen of theyr lyfes: namely, theyr sonnes and daughters, shall not this be knowen? |
| 24:26 | Then shall there one escape, and come vnto the, for to shew the. |
| 24:27 | In that daye shall thy mouth be opened to him, which is escaped, that thou mayest speake, and be nomore domme. Yee, and thou shalt be theyr shewtoken that they maye knowe, howe that I am the Lord. |
The Great Bible 1539
The Great Bible of 1539 was the first authorized edition of the Bible in English, authorized by King Henry VIII of England to be read aloud in the church services of the Church of England. The Great Bible was prepared by Myles Coverdale, working under commission of Thomas, Lord Cromwell, Secretary to Henry VIII and Vicar General. In 1538, Cromwell directed the clergy to provide "one book of the bible of the largest volume in English, and the same set up in some convenient place within the said church that ye have care of, whereas your parishioners may most commodiously resort to the same and read it."
