Ezekiel 9:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ The glory of the God of Israel had been above the cherubim. It moved from there to the doorway of the temple. Then the Lord called to the man who was dressed in linen clothes. He had the writing kit. ⁴ The Lord said to him, “Go all through Jerusalem. Look for those who are sad and sorry about all the things being done there. I hate those things. Put a mark on the foreheads of those people.”

⁵ I heard him speak to the six men. He said, “Follow him through the city. Do not show any pity or concern.
