[1]He criedH7121[H8799] also in mine earsH241 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, sayingH559[H8800], Cause them that have chargeH6486 over the cityH5892 to draw nearH7126[H8804], even every manH376 with his destroyingH4892 weaponH3627 in his handH3027.
[2]And, behold, sixH8337 menH582 cameH935[H8802] from the wayH1870 of the higherH5945 gateH8179, which liethH6437[H8716] toward the northH6828, and every manH376 a slaughterH4660 weaponH3627 in his handH3027; and oneH259 manH376 amongH8432 them was clothedH3847[H8803] with linenH906, with a writer'sH5608[H8802] inkhornH7083 by his sideH4975: and they went inH935[H8799], and stoodH5975[H8799] besideH681 the brasenH5178 altarH4196.
[3]And the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 was gone upH5927[H8738] from the cherubH3742, whereupon he was, to the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004. And he calledH7121[H8799] to the manH376 clothedH3847[H8803] with linenH906, which had the writer'sH5608[H8802] inkhornH7083 by his sideH4975;
[4]And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto him, Go throughH5674[H8798] the midstH8432 of the cityH5892, through the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389, and setH8427[H8689] a markH8420 upon the foreheadsH4696 of the menH582 that sighH584[H8737] and that cryH602[H8737] for all the abominationsH8441 that be doneH6213[H8737] in the midst thereofH8432.
[5]And to the othersH428 he saidH559[H8804] in mine hearingH241, GoH5674[H8798] ye afterH310 him through the cityH5892, and smiteH5221[H8685]: let not your eyeH5869 spareH2347[H8799], neither have ye pityH2550:[H8799]
[6]SlayH2026[H8799] utterlyH4889 oldH2205 and youngH970, both maidsH1330, and little childrenH2945, and womenH802: but come not nearH5066[H8799] any manH376 upon whom is the markH8420; and beginH2490[H8686] at my sanctuaryH4720. Then they beganH2490[H8686] at the ancientH2205 menH582 which were beforeH6440 the houseH1004.
[7]And he saidH559[H8799] unto them, DefileH2930[H8761] the houseH1004, and fillH4390[H8761] the courtsH2691 with the slainH2491: go ye forthH3318[H8798]. And they went forthH3318[H8804], and slewH5221[H8689] in the cityH5892.
[8]And it came to pass, while they were slayingH5221[H8687] them, and I was leftH7604[H8737], that I fellH5307[H8799] upon my faceH6440, and criedH2199[H8799], and saidH559[H8799], AhH162 LordH136 GODH3069! wilt thou destroyH7843[H8688] all the residueH7611 of IsraelH3478 in thy pouring outH8210[H8800] of thy furyH2534 upon JerusalemH3389?
[9]Then saidH559[H8799] he unto me, The iniquityH5771 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063 is exceedingH3966[H3966] greatH1419, and the landH776 is fullH4390[H8735] of bloodH1818, and the cityH5892 fullH4390[H8804] of perversenessH4297: for they sayH559[H8804], The LORDH3068 hath forsakenH5800[H8804] the earthH776, and the LORDH3068 seethH7200 notH8802.
[10]And as for me also, mine eyeH5869 shall not spareH2347[H8799], neither will I have pityH2550[H8799], but I will recompenseH5414[H8804] their wayH1870 upon their headH7218.
[11]And, behold, the manH376 clothedH3847[H8803] with linenH906, which had the inkhornH7083 by his sideH4975, reportedH7725[H8688] the matterH1697, sayingH559[H8800], I have doneH6213[H8804] as thou hast commandedH6680 meH8765.
