Ezekiel 9:6-8

Common English Bible

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.

⁸ While they were attacking, I was left alone. I fell on my face, and I cried out, “Oh, Lord God! When you pour out your wrath on Jerusalem, will you destroy all that is left of Israel?”
