Ezekiel 9:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And behold, six [a]men came by the way of the high gate, which lieth toward the [b]North, and every man a weapon in his hand to destroy it: and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s [c]inkhorn by his side, and they went in and stood beside the brazen altar.
3 And the glory of the God of Israel was [d]gone up from the Cherub, whereupon he was, and stood on the [e]door 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 said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, even through the midst of Jerusalem, and [f]set a mark upon the foreheads of them that [g]mourn, and cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
