Ezekiel 9:3-6

English Standard Version

³ Now ^(A)the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub on which it rested to ^(B)the threshold of the house. And he called to ^(C)the man clothed in linen, who had the writing case at his waist. ⁴ And the Lord said to him, “Pass through the city, through Jerusalem, and ^(D)put a mark on the foreheads of the men who ^(E)sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed in it.” ⁵ And to ^(F)the others he said in my hearing, “Pass through the city after him, and strike. ^(G)Your eye shall not spare, and you shall show no pity. ^6 (H)Kill old men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women, but ^(I)touch no one on whom is the mark. And ^(J)begin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the house.
