Ezekiel 9:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ To the others he said in my hearing: Go through the city after him, and attack. Spare no one! Be merciless! ⁶ Kill them all, old men, young men and women, babies and mothers. Only don’t touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary. So they began with the men, the elders in front of the temple. ⁷ He said to them: Make the temple unclean! Fill the courts with the slain! Go! And they went out and attacked the city.
