Ezekiel 9:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ While they were doing it, I was left alone. I fell with my face toward the ground. I cried out, “Lord and King, are you going to destroy all the Israelites who are still left alive? Will you pour out your great anger on all those who remain in Jerusalem?”

⁹ He answered me, “The sin of Israel and Judah is very great. The land is full of murderers. Its people are not being fair to one another anywhere in Jerusalem. They say, ‘The Lord has deserted the land. He doesn’t see us.’ ¹⁰ So I will not spare them or feel sorry for them. Anything that happens to them will be their own fault.”
