Ezekiel 9:2-4

Evangelical Heritage Version

² Then I noticed six men coming from the direction of the upper gate that faces north, each with his weapon, a war club, in his hand. There was also one man in the middle, dressed in linen, with a scribe’s kit at his waist. They entered and stood beside the bronze altar.

³ Now the Glory of the God of Israel ascended from above the cherub, over whom it had been standing, and moved to the threshold of the temple building. He called out to the man who was dressed in linen, who had the scribe’s kit at his waist. ⁴ The Lord said to him, “Go through the city, through Jerusalem, and put a cross mark^[a] on the foreheads of those who moan and lament over the abominations being committed in her.”
