Dear Eric and Five doves,Thank you for your sharing,
i include ezekiel ch 9.
Eze 9:1 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.
Eze 9:2 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
brazen altar.
Eze 9:3 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;
Eze 9:4 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.
Eze 9:5 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:
Eze 9:6 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.
Eze 9:7 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.
Eze 9:8 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?
Eze 9:9 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.
Eze 9:10 And as for me also, mine eye shall not
spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense
their way upon their head.
Eze 9:11 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 me.
