Ezekiel 9:2-4
Lexham English Bible
2 And look! Six men coming from the way of the upper gate[a] that faced northward,[b] and each with his weapon for[c] shattering in his hand; and one man was in the midst of them, dressed in linen, and the[d] writing case of the scribe was at his side. And they came and stood beside the bronze altar. 3 And the glory of the God of Israel lifted itself up from upon the cherub that he was on[e] and went to the threshold of the house,[f] and he called to the man who was clothed in linen with a scribal writing case at his side.[g] 4 And Yahweh said to him, “Go through in the midst of the city, in the midst of Jerusalem, and you must place a mark on the foreheads of the men who are groaning and lamenting[h] about all of the detestable things that are being done[i] in the midst of her.”
