Ezekiel 9:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ The Lord said to him, “Go all through Jerusalem. Look for those who are sad and sorry about all the things being done there. I hate those things. Put a mark on the foreheads of those people.”

⁵ I heard him speak to the six men. He said, “Follow him through the city. Do not show any pity or concern. ⁶ Kill the old men and women, the young men and women, and the children. But do not touch anyone who has the mark. Start at my temple.” So they began with the old men who were in front of the temple.
