1 Then He cried° out in my hearing° with a loud° avoice° saying°, “Draw° near°, IO executioners° of the city°, each° with his destroying° weapon° in his hand°.” 2 Behold°, six° men° came° from the direction° of the upper° gate° which° faces° north°, each° with his shattering° weapon° in his hand°; and among° them was aa certain° man° clothed° in linen° with a Iwriting° case° at his loins°.

3 ¶ Then the aglory° of the God° of Israel° went° up from the cherub° on which° it had been°, to the threshold° of the Itemple°. And He called° to the man° clothed° in linen° at whose° loins° was the writing° case°. 4 The LORD° said° to him, “Go° through the midst° of the city°, [even] through the midst° of Jerusalem°, and put° a amark° on the foreheads° of the men° who bsigh° and groan° over° all° the abominations° which are being committed° in its midst°.” 5 But to the others° He said° in my hearing°, “Go° through the city° after° him and strike°; do not let your eye° have° pity° and do not spare°. 6 IUtterly° aslay° old° men°, young° men°, maidens°, little° children°, and women°, but do not btouch° any° man° on whom° is the mark°; and you shall cstart° from My sanctuary°.” So they started° with the IIelders° who° [were] before° the IIItemple°. 7 And He said° to them, “aDefile° the Itemple° and fill° the courts° with the slain°.

1 ¶ He criedºª also in mine earsº with a loudº voice,º saying,ºª Cause them that have chargeº over the cityº to draw near,ºª even every manº [with] his destroyingº weaponº in his hand.º 2 And, behold,² sixº men¹² cameºª from the wayº² of the higherº gate,º which² liethºª toward the north,º and every manº a slaughterº weaponº in his hand;º and oneº manº amongº them [was] clothedºª with linen,º with a writer'sºª inkhornº by his side:º and they went in,ºª and stoodºª besideº the brasenº altar.º 3 And the gloryº of the Godº of Israelº was gone upºª from²² the cherub,º whereupon²² he was,² to² the thresholdº of the house.º And he calledºª to² the manº clothedºª with linen,º which² [had] the writer'sºª inkhornº by his side;º 4 And the LORDº saidºª unto² him, Go throughºª the midstº of the city,º through the midstº of Jerusalem,º and setºª a markº upon² the foreheadsº of the men¹² that sighºª and that cryºª for² all² the abominationsº that be doneºª in the midstº thereof.
