He cried also in mine ears
with a loud voice,
saying,
Cause them that have charge over the city
to draw near,
even every man
with his destroying weapon in his hand
And, behold,
six men came
from the way of the higher gate;
which lieth toward the north,
and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand
and ONE MAN AMONG THEM
was clothed with linen,
with A WRITER'S INHORN at his side
and they went in,
and stood beside the brasen altar
And The Gory of the God of Israel
was gone up from the cherub,
whereupon he was,
to the threshold of the house
And He called
to the man clothed with linen,
which had the writer's inkhorn by his side
And The Lord said unto him,
Go through the midst of the city,
through the midst of Jerusalem,
AND SET A MARK
UPON THE FOREHEADS
OF THE MEN THAT SIGH
AND THAT CRY
FOR ALL OF THE ABOMINATIONS
that be done in the midst thereof
And to the others He said in mine hearing,
Go ye after him through the city,
and smite
let not your eyes spare,
neither have ye pity
Slay utterly old and young,
both maids
and little children
BUT COME NOT NEAR
ANY MAN
UPON WHOM IS THE MARK
and begin at my sanctuary
Then they began at the ancient men
which were before the house
And he said unto them,
Defile the house
and fill the courts with the slain
go ye forth.
And they went forth and slew in the city
Ezekiel 9:1-8
