* He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice , saying , Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near , even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand . * And , behold , six men came from the way of the higher gate sha #ar #, which lieth toward the north , and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand ; and one man among them was clothed with linen , with a writers inkhorn by his side : and they went in , and stood beside the brasen altar . * And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub , whereupon he was , to the threshold of the house . And he called to the man clothed with linen , which had the writers inkhorn by his side ; * And the LORD said unto him , Go through the midst of the city , through the midst of Jerusalem , and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof . * And to the others #el-leh # he said in mine hearing , Go ye after him through the city , and smite : let not your eye spare , neither have ye pity : * Slay utterly old and young , both maids , and little children , and women : but come not near any man upon whom is the mark ; and begin at my sanctuary . Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house . * And he said unto them , Defile the house , and fill the courts with the slain : go ye forth . And they went forth , and slew in the city . * And it came to pass , while they were slaying them , and I was left , that I fell upon my face , and cried , and said , Ah Lord GOD ! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem ? * Then said he unto me , The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding #H3966great , and the land is full of blood , and the city full of perverseness : for they say , The LORD hath forsaken the earth , and the LORD seeth not . * And as for me also , mine eye shall not spare , neither will I have pity , but I will recompense their way upon their head ro #sh #. * And , behold , the man clothed with linen , which had the inkhorn by his side , reported the matter , saying , I have done as thou hast commanded me .
