Ezekiel 9:6-8

Modern English Version

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. ⁸ While they were killing, I was left alone; and I fell on my face and cried out, “Ah, Lord God! Will You destroy all the rest of Israel by Your pouring out of Your fury upon Jerusalem?”
