Ezekiel 9:5–11

And to the others he said in my hearing, “Go through the city behind him and kill! Your eyes shall not take pity, and you shall not have compassion. You must kill totallyl old man, young man and young woman, and little children and women, but concerningm every man with the mark on himn you must not approach; and from my sanctuary you must begin.” And they began with the old men who were beforeo the house.p And he said to them, “Defile the houseq and fill the courtyards with the dead; go out! And they went out, and they killed in the city. And thenr as they were striking,s and I was left behind, I fell on my face, and I cried out, and I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! “Will you be destroying all of the remnant of Israel while you pour out your raget on Jerusalem?” And he said to me, “The guilt of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedinglyu great, and the land is filled with bloodguilt, and the city is full of injustice. For they say Yahweh abandoned the land, and Yahweh does not see.v 10 And I, my eye will not take pity, and I will not have compassion; their way I will bring on their head.” 11 And look! The man clothed in linen and with a writing case at his sidew was bringing back a word, saying,x “I have done all that you commanded me.”
