⁴ And the Lord said to him, “Pass through the city, through Jerusalem, and ^(A)put a mark on the foreheads of the men who ^(B)sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed in it.”

⁵ And to ^(A)the others he said in my hearing, “Pass through the city after him, and strike. ^(B)Your eye shall not spare, and you shall show no pity.

^6 (A)Kill old men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women, but ^(B)touch no one on whom is the mark. And ^(C)begin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the house.
