Ezekiel 9:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain, then go forth: and they went out and slew them in the city.
8 Now when they had slain them, and I had escaped, I fell down upon my face, and cried, saying, [a]Ah Lord God, wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel, in pouring out thy wrath upon Jerusalem?
9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel, and Judah is exceeding great, so that the land is full of [b]blood, and the city full of corrupt judgment: for they say, The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord seeth us not.

Ezekiel 9:7-9
New International Version
7 Then he said to them, “Defile the temple and fill the courts with the slain.(A) Go!” So they went out and began killing throughout the city. 8 While they were killing and I was left alone, I fell facedown,(B) crying out, “Alas, Sovereign Lord!(C) Are you going to destroy the entire remnant of Israel in this outpouring of your wrath(D) on Jerusalem?(E)”
9 He answered me, “The sin of the people of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great; the land is full of bloodshed and the city is full of injustice.(F) They say, ‘The Lord has forsaken the land; the Lord does not see.’(G)
