Ezekiel 9:5-11

5But to the others He said in my hearing, “Go through the city after him and strike; do not let your eye have pity and do not spare. 61Utterly 2slay old men, young men, maidens, little children, and women, but do not 3touch any man on whom is the mark; and you shall 4start from My sanctuary.” So they started with the 5elders who were before the 6temple. 7And He said to them, “7Defile the 8temple and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” Thus they went out and struck down the people in the city. 8As they were striking the people and I alone was left, I 9fell on my face and cried out 10saying, “11Alas, Lord 12God! Are You destroying the whole remnant of Israel 13by pouring out Your wrath on Jerusalem?”

9Then He said to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is very, very great, and the land is 14filled with blood and the city is 15full of perversion; for 16they say, ‘The Lord has forsaken the land, and the Lord does not see!’ 10But as for Me, 17My eye will have no pity nor will I spare, but 18I will bring their conduct upon their heads.”

11Then behold, the man clothed in linen at whose loins was the 19writing case 20reported, saying, “I have done just as You have commanded me.”
