Ezekiel 9:1-2

New Century Version

Vision of the Angels

9 Then he shouted with a loud voice in my ears, “You who are chosen to punish this city, come near with your weapon in your hand.” ² Then six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his powerful weapon in his hand. Among them was a man dressed in linen with a writing case at his side. The men went in and stood by the bronze altar.
