Context of Ezekiel 9:11
9He said to me, “The sin of the house of Israel and Judah is extremely great; the land is full of murder, and the city is full of corruption, for they say, ‘The Lord has abandoned the land, and the Lord does not see!’ 10But as for me, my eye will not pity them nor will I spare them; I hereby repay them for what they have done.” Next I noticed the man dressed in linen with the writing kit at his side bringing back word: “I have done just as you commanded me.”
