Ezekiel 9:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

⁸ I was alone while they were doing this. I bent down low with my face towards the ground. I called out, ‘Almighty Lord! Will you destroy all Israel's people who are still alive? Are you so angry with the people of Jerusalem that you will do that?’

⁹ He answered me, ‘The sins of the people of Israel and Judah are very great. They murder people everywhere in the land. In the city, nobody does what is right. They say, “The Lord has gone away from our land! The Lord does not see what we are doing!”  ¹⁰ So I will not be sorry for them. I will not be kind to them. Now I will punish them as they deserve for the things that they have done.’
