Berean Standard Bible
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.
Then
I
heard
Him
call
out
in a loud voice, saying, “
Draw near, O
executioners
of
the
city,
each
with a
weapon of
destruction
in hand. ”
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.
And I
saw
six men coming
from the direction
of the Upper
Gate, which faces
north, each
with
a weapon of
slaughter
in his hand .
With
them was another
man
clothed in
linen who
had
a writing
kit
at
his side .
And they came
in and stood beside the bronze
altar.
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 ;
Then
the glory of the God of Israel rose
from above
the cherubim
, where
it
had
been
, and
moved
to the threshold of the temple
. And He called to the man clothed in
linen who
had the writing
kit
at
his side .
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
.
“
Go throughout
the city of Jerusalem, ”
said
the
LORD,
“
and put
a mark on
the foreheads of the men sighing
and groaning
over
all the abominations committed
there
. ”
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 :
And as
I
listened,
He
said
to the others, “Follow
him through the city and start
killing;
do
not show
pity or
spare
anyone!
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
.
Slaughter
the
old men
, the
young
men
and maidens
, the
women and
children;
but do
not go
near anyone
who
has
the mark .
Now
begin at My sanctuary. ”
So
they began with
the elders
who
were before the temple
.
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.
Then
He told
them, “
Defile the temple
and fill the courts with the slain .
Go forth !”
So
they went out
and began
killing
throughout
the city.
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
?
While they were killing
, I was left alone.
And
I fell facedown
and cried out
, “Oh
, Lord GOD ,
when
You
pour
out
Your
wrath
on
Jerusalem,
will
You
destroy the entire
remnant
of Israel? ”
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.
He replied
, “
The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly
great .
The land is full of bloodshed
, and the city is
full of perversity.
For they say, ‘
The LORD has
forsaken the land;
the LORD does
not see
. ’
And
as for me also
, mine
eye
shall
not spare
, neither
will I have
pity,
but
I will recompense
their way
upon their head
.
But
as for Me, I
will
not look
on
them
with
pity
, nor
will I spare
them.
I will bring
their deeds
down
upon their own
heads
. ”
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 me
.
Then
the man clothed in
linen with
the writing
kit
at
his side reported back
, “
I have done as You
commanded. ”
