Ezekiel 9:2-4

2Behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate which faces north, each with his shattering weapon in his hand; and among them was 1a certain man clothed in linen with a 2writing case at his loins. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.

3Then the 3glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub on which it had been, to the threshold of the 4temple. And He called to the man clothed in linen at whose loins was the writing case. 4The Lord said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, even through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a 5mark on the foreheads of the men who 6sigh and groan over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst.”
