Ezekiel 9:4-10

4And the Lord said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and make a 1mark on the foreheads of the people who 2groan and sigh over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst.” 5But to the others He said in my 3presence, “Go through the city after him and strike; do not let your eye have pity and do not spare. 64Utterly 5kill old men, young men, female virgins, little children, and women, but do not 6touch any person on whom is the mark; and you shall 7start from My sanctuary.” So they started with the 8elders who were before the 9temple. 7He also said to them, “10Defile the 11temple and fill the courtyards with the dead. Go out!” So they went out and struck and killed the people in the city. 8And as they were striking the people and I alone was left, I 12fell on my face and cried out, 13saying, “14Oh, Lord 15God! Are You going to destroy the entire remnant of Israel 16by pouring out Your wrath on Jerusalem?”

9Then He said to me, “The guilt of the house of Israel and Judah is very, very great, and the land is 17filled with blood, and the city is 18full of perversion; for 19they say, ‘The Lord has abandoned the land, and the Lord does not see!’ 10But as for Me, 20My eye will have no pity nor will I spare, but 21I will bring their conduct upon their heads.”
