King James Bible (Oxford) 1769
| 2:1 | And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. |
| 2:2 | And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me. |
| 2:3 | And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day. |
| 2:4 | For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD. |
| 2:5 | And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them. |
| 2:6 | And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. |
| 2:7 | And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious. |
| 2:8 | But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee. |
| 2:9 | And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein; |
| 2:10 | And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe. |

By the mid-18th century the wide variation in the various modernized printed texts of the Authorized Version, combined with the notorious accumulation of misprints, had reached the proportion of a scandal, and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge both sought to produce an updated standard text. First of the two was the Cambridge edition of 1760, the culmination of twenty-years work by Francis Sawyer Parris, who died in May of that year. This 1760 edition was reprinted without change in 1762 and in John Baskerville's fine folio edition of 1763. This was effectively superseded by the 1769 Oxford edition, edited by Benjamin Blayney.
