Ezekiel 9:5-7

Modern English Version

⁵ To the others He said in my hearing, “Go after him through the city and strike. Do not let your eye spare or have pity. ⁶ Utterly slay old and young, both maidens and little children, and women. But do not touch any man on whom is the mark. And begin at My sanctuary.” Then they began with the elders who were before the temple.

⁷ Then he said to them, “Defile the temple, and fill the courts with the slain. Go forth!” So they went out and killed in the city.
