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.
2
And,
behold,
six
men
came
from
the
way
of
the
higher
gate,
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
writer’s
inkhorn
by
his
side:
and
they
went
in,
and
stood
beside
the
brasen
altar.
3
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
writer’s
inkhorn
by
his
side;
4
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.
5
And
to
the
others
he
said
in
mine
hearing,
Go
ye
after
him
through
the
city,
and
smite:
let
not
your
eye
spare,
neither
have
ye
pity:
6
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.
7
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.
8
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?
9
Then
said
he
unto
me,
The
iniquity
of
the
house
of
Israel
and
Judah
[is]
exceeding
great,
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.
10
And
as
for
me
also,
mine
eye
shall
not
spare,
neither
will
I
have
pity,
[but]
I
will
recompense
their
way
upon
their
head.
11
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
