1 He cried also in my 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 lies 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.

3 And the glory of the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] was gone up from the cherub [keruv], 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-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], 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 my hearing, Go you2f after him through the city, and strike: let not your eye spare, neither have you2f 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 you2f forth. And they went forth, and killed 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-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER)! will youi destroy all the residue (part that remains, the rest) of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] in youri pouring out of youri fury upon Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]?

9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] [is] exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has forsaken the earth, and the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) sees not.

10 And as for me also, my 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 youi have commanded me.
