Ezekiel 9:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, even through the midst of Jerusalem, and [a]set a mark upon the foreheads of them that [b]mourn, and cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
5 And to the other he said, that I might hear, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let your eye spare none, neither have pity.
6 Destroy utterly the old, and the young, and the maids, and the children, and the women, but touch no man, upon whom is the [c]mark, and begin at my Sanctuary. Then they began at the [d]ancient men, which were before the house.
