1He 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. 2And, 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.

3And the glory of the God-Elohim (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; 4And the LORD-Yehovah (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. 5And to the others he said in my hearing, Go you^2f after him through the city, and strike: let not your eye spare, neither have you^2f pity: 6Slay 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. 7And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go you^2f forth. And they went forth, and killed in the city. 8And 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-Yehoveeh (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]?

9Then 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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has forsaken the earth, and the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) sees not. 10And as for me also, my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, [but] I will recompense their way upon their head.

11And, 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.
