God’s Messengers Punish Jerusalem
9 Then God shouted to the leaders in charge of punishing the city. Each leader had his own destructive weapon in his hand.[a] 2 Then I saw six men walking on the road from the upper gate. This gate is on the north side. Each man had his own deadly weapon in his hand. One of the men wore linen clothes.[b] He wore a scribe’s pen and ink set[c] at his waist.
