* Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice , saying , Cause ye those who have charge over the city to draw near , each man with his destroying weapon in his hand . * And , behold , six men came from the way of the upper gate , which lays toward the north , each man with his slaughter weapon in his hand , and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen , with a writer 's case by his side . And they we * And the glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub , upon which it was , to the threshold of the house , and he called to the man clothed in linen who had the writer 's case by his side . * And LORD said to him , Go through the midst of the city , through the midst of Jerusalem , and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and who cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst of it . * And to the others he said in my hearing , Go ye through the city after him , and smite . Let not your eye spare , nor have ye pity . * Kill utterly the old man , the young man , and the virgin , and little sons , and women , but come not near any man upon whom is the mark . And begin at my sanctuary . Then they began at the old men who were before the house . * And he said to them , Defile the house , and fill the courts with the slain . Go ye forth . And they went forth , and smote in the city . * And it came to pass , while they were smiting , and I was left , that I fell upon my face , and cried , and said , Ah lord LORD ! Will thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy wrath upon Jerusalem ? * Then he said to me , The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great , and the land is full of blood , and the city full of perverseness . For they say , LORD has forsaken the land , and LORD does not see . * And as for me also , my eye shall not spare , nor will I have pity , but I will bring their way upon their head . * And , behold , the man clothed in linen , who had the writing case by his side , reported the matter , saying , I have done as thou have commanded me .
