Ezekiel 9:2-4

GOD’S WORD Translation

² So six men came from the upper north gate. Each one brought a deadly weapon with him. Among them was a person dressed in linen who was carrying paper and pen. The men came in and stood by the bronze altar. ³ Then the glory of the God of Israel went up from the angels,^[a] where it had been, to the temple’s entrance. The Lord called to the person dressed in linen who was carrying paper and pen.

⁴ The Lord said to that person, “Go throughout the city of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of those who sigh and groan about all the disgusting things that are being done in the city.”
