Ezekiel 9:6-8

New English Translation

⁶ Old men, young men, young women, little children, and women—wipe them out! But do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary!” So they began with the elders who were at the front of the temple.

⁷ He said to them, “Defile the temple and fill the courtyards with corpses. Go!” So they went out and struck people down throughout the city. ⁸ While they were striking them down, I was left alone, and I threw myself face down and cried out, “Ah, Sovereign Lord! Will you destroy the entire remnant of Israel when you pour out your fury on Jerusalem?”
