1 He cried 7121 also in mine ears 241 with a loud 1419 voice 6963, saying 559, Cause them that have charge 6486 over the city 5892 to draw near 7126, even every man 376 with his destroying 4892 weapon 3627 in his hand 3027.
2 And, behold, six 8337 men 582 came 935 from the way 1870 of the higher 5945 gate 8179, which lieth 6437 toward the north 6828, and every man 376 a slaughter 4660 weapon 3627 in his hand 3027; and one 259 man 376 among 8432 them was clothed 3847 with linen 906, with a writer's 5608 inkhorn 7083 by his side 4975: and they went in 935, and stood 5975 beside 681 the brasen 5178 altar 4196.
3 And the glory 3519 of the God 430 of Israel 3478 was gone up 5927 from the cherub 3742, whereupon he was, to the threshold 4670 of the house 1004. And he called 7121 to the man 376 clothed 3847 with linen 906, which had the writer's 5608 inkhorn 7083 by his side 4975;
4 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto him, Go through 5674 the midst 8432 of the city 5892, through the midst 8432 of Jerusalem 3389, and set 8427 a mark 8420 upon the foreheads 4696 of the men 582 that sigh 584 and that cry 602 for all the abominations 8441 that be done 6213 in the midst 8432 thereof.
5 And to the others 428 he said 559 in mine hearing 241, Go 5674 ye after 310 him through the city 5892, and smite 5221: let not your eye 5869 spare 2347, neither have ye pity 2550:
6 Slay 2026 utterly 4889 old 2205 and young 970, both maids 1330, and little children 2945, and women 802: but come not near 5066 any man 376 upon whom is the mark 8420; and begin 2490 at my sanctuary 4720. Then they began 2490 at the ancient 2205 men 582 which were before 6440 the house 1004.
7 And he said 559 unto them, Defile 2930 the house 1004, and fill 4390 the courts 2691 with the slain 2491: go ye forth 3318. And they went forth 3318, and slew 5221 in the city 5892.
8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying 5221 them, and I was left 7604, that I fell 5307 upon my face 6440, and cried 2199, and said 559, Ah 162 Lord 136 GOD 3069! wilt thou destroy 7843 all the residue 7611 of Israel 3478 in thy pouring out 8210 of thy fury 2534 upon Jerusalem 3389?
9 Then said 559 he unto me, The iniquity 5771 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478 and Judah 3063 is exceeding 3966 3966 great 1419, and the land 776 is full 4390 of blood 1818, and the city 5892 full 4390 of perverseness 4297: for they say 559, The LORD 3068 hath forsaken 5800 the earth 776, and the LORD 3068 seeth 7200 not.
10 And as for me also, mine eye 5869 shall not spare 2347, neither will I have pity 2550, but I will recompense 5414 their way 1870 upon their head 7218.
11 And, behold, the man 376 clothed 3847 with linen 906, which had the inkhorn 7083 by his side 4975, reported 7725 the matter 1697, saying 559, I have done 6213 as thou hast commanded 6680 me.
