Ezekiel 9:4-6

Idolaters Killed

4 And the Lord said to him, "Pass through the city, through Jerusalem, and f put a mark on the foreheads of the men who g sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed in it." 5 And to h the others he said in my hearing, "Pass through the city after him, and strike. i Your eye shall not spare, and you shall show no pity. 6 j Kill old men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women, but k touch no one on whom is the mark. And l begin at my sanctuary." So they began with the elders who were before the house.
