9:1 Then
he
cried
in
my
ears
with
a
loud
voice,
saying,
"Bring
near
the
executioners
of
the
city,
each
with
his
destroying
weapon
in
his
hand."
9:2 And
behold,
six
men
came
from
the
direction
of
the
upper
gate,
which
faces
north,
each
with
his
weapon
for
slaughter
in
his
hand,
and
with
them
was
a
man
clothed
in
linen,
with
a
writing
case
at
his
waist.
And
they
went
in
and
stood
beside
the
bronze
altar.
9:3 Now
the
glory
of
the
God
of
Israel
had
gone
up
from
the
cherub
on
which
it
rested
to
the
threshold
of
the
house.
And
he
called
to
the
man
clothed
in
linen,
who
had
the
writing
case
at
his
waist.
9:4 And
the
LORD
said
to
him,
"Pass
through
the
city,
through
Jerusalem,
and
put
a
mark
on
the
foreheads
of
the
men
who
sigh
and
groan
over
all
the
abominations
that
are
committed
in
it."
9:5 And
to
the
others
he
said
in
my
hearing,
"Pass
through
the
city
after
him,
and
strike.
Your
eye
shall
not
spare,
and
you
shall
show
no
pity.
9:6 Kill
old
men
outright,
young
men
and
maidens,
little
children
and
women,
but
touch
no
one
on
whom
is
the
mark.
And
begin
at
my
sanctuary."
So
they
began
with
the
elders
who
were
before
the
house.
9:7 Then
he
said
to
them,
"Defile
the
house,
and
fill
the
courts
with
the
slain.
Go
out."
So
they
went
out
and
struck
in
the
city.
9:8 And
while
they
were
striking,
and
I
was
left
alone,
I
fell
upon
my
face,
and
cried,
"Ah,
Lord
GOD!
Will
you
destroy
all
the
remnant
of
Israel
in
the
outpouring
of
your
wrath
on
Jerusalem"
9:9 Then
he
said
to
me,
"The
guilt
of
the
house
of
Israel
and
Judah
is
exceedingly
great.
The
land
is
full
of
blood,
and
the
city
full
of
injustice.
For
they
say,
'The
LORD
has
forsaken
the
land,
and
the
LORD
does
not
see.'
9:10 As
for
me,
my
eye
will
not
spare,
nor
will
I
have
pity;
I
will
bring
their
deeds
upon
their
heads."
9:11 And
behold,
the
man
clothed
in
linen,
with
the
writing
case
at
his
waist,
brought
back
word,
saying,
"I
have
done
as
you
commanded
me."
