⁸ you must not yield to or heed any such persons. Show them no pity or compassion, and do not shield them.

¹³ Show no pity; you shall purge the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, so that it may go well with you.^(A)

⁵ To the others he said in my hearing, “Pass through the city after him and kill; your eye shall not spare, and you shall show no pity.^{(A) 6} Cut down old men, young men and young women, little children and women, but touch no one who has the mark. And begin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were in front of the house.^(B)

²¹ Little children, keep yourselves from idols.^[a]

⁸ But even if we or an angel^[a] from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that one be accursed!^{(A) 9} As we have said before, so now I repeat, if anyone proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that one be accursed!

¹¹ Therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things and with all your abominations, therefore I will withdraw; my eye will not spare, and I will have no pity.^(A)

³ you shall have no other gods before^[a] me.^(A)
