Ezekiel 9:3-5

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³ Then the glory of the God of Israel^(A) rose from above the cherub where it had been, to the threshold of the temple. He called to the man clothed in linen with the writing equipment at his side. ⁴ “Pass throughout the city of Jerusalem,” the Lord said to him, “and put a mark on the foreheads^(B) of the men who sigh and groan^(C) over all the detestable practices committed in it.”

⁵ He spoke as I listened to the others, “Pass through the city after him and start killing; do not show pity or spare them!^(D)
