Ezekiel 9:1-3

GOD’S WORD Translation

The Lord Orders the Destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem

9 Then I heard the Lord call out with a loud voice. He said, “Come here, those who are going to punish this city. Each of you should bring your weapon with you.” ² So six men came from the upper north gate. Each one brought a deadly weapon with him. Among them was a person dressed in linen who was carrying paper and pen. The men came in and stood by the bronze altar. ³ Then the glory of the God of Israel went up from the angels,^[a] where it had been, to the temple’s entrance. The Lord called to the person dressed in linen who was carrying paper and pen.
