Ezekiel 9:7-10
The Message
Ezekiel 9:7-10
The Message
7-8 He told the executioners, “Desecrate the Temple. Fill it with corpses. Then go out and continue the killing.” So they went out and struck the city.
While the massacre went forward, I was left alone. I fell on my face in prayer: “Oh, oh, God, my Master! Are you going to kill everyone left in Israel in this pouring out of your anger on Jerusalem?”
9-10 He said, “The guilt of Israel and Judah is enormous. The land is swollen with murder. The city is bloated with injustice. They all say, ‘God has forsaken the country. He doesn’t see anything we do.’ Well, I do see, and I’m not feeling sorry for any of them. They’re going to pay for what they’ve done.”

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)
