9:1 He cried 7121 8799 also in mine ears 241 with a loud 1419 voice 6963, saying 559 8800, Cause them that have charge 6486 over the city 5892 to draw near 7126 8804, even every man 376 [with] his destroying 4892 weapon 3627 in his hand 3027.

9:2 And, behold, six 8337 men 582 came 935 8802 from the way 1870 of the higher 5945 gate 8179, which lieth 6437 8716 toward the north 6828, and every man 376 a slaughter 4660 weapon 3627 in his hand 3027; and one 259 man 376 among 8432 them [was] clothed 3847 8803 with linen 906, with a writer's 5608 8802 inkhorn 7083 by his side 4975: and they went in 935 8799, and stood 5975 8799 beside 681 the brasen 5178 altar 4196.(which lieth: Heb. which is turned)(a slaughter…: Heb. a weapon of his breaking in pieces)(by his…: Heb. upon his loins)

9:3 And the glory 3519 of the God 430 of Israel 3478 was gone up 5927 8738 from the cherub 3742, whereupon he was, to the threshold 4670 of the house 1004. And he called 7121 8799 to the man 376 clothed 3847 8803 with linen 906, which [had] the writer's 5608 8802 inkhorn 7083 by his side 4975;

9:4 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto him, Go through 5674 8798 the midst 8432 of the city 5892, through the midst 8432 of Jerusalem 3389, and set 8427 8689 a mark 8420 upon the foreheads 4696 of the men 582 that sigh 584 8737 and that cry 602 8737 for all the abominations 8441 that be done 6213 8737 in the midst 8432 thereof.(set a mark: Heb. mark a mark)

9:5 And to the others 428 he said 559 8804 in mine hearing 241, Go 5674 8798 ye after 310 him through the city 5892, and smite 5221 8685: let not your eye 5869 spare 2347 8799, neither have ye pity 2550 8799:(mine hearing: Heb. mine ears)

9:6 Slay 2026 8799 utterly 4889 old 2205 [and] young 970, both maids 1330, and little children 2945, and women 802: but come not near 5066 8799 any man 376 upon whom [is] the mark 8420; and begin 2490 8686 at my sanctuary 4720. Then they began 2490 8686 at the ancient 2205 men 582 which [were] before 6440 the house 1004.(utterly: Heb. to destruction)

9:7 And he said 559 8799 unto them, Defile 2930 8761 the house 1004, and fill 4390 8761 the courts 2691 with the slain 2491: go ye forth 3318 8798. And they went forth 3318 8804, and slew 5221 8689 in the city 5892.

9:8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying 5221 8687 them, and I was left 7604 8737, that I fell 5307 8799 upon my face 6440, and cried 2199 8799, and said 559 8799, Ah 162 Lord 136 GOD 3069! wilt thou destroy 7843 8688 all the residue 7611 of Israel 3478 in thy pouring out 8210 8800 of thy fury 2534 upon Jerusalem 3389?

9:9 Then said 559 8799 he unto me, The iniquity 5771 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478 and Judah 3063 [is] exceeding 3966 3966 great 1419, and the land 776 is full 4390 8735 of blood 1818, and the city 5892 full 4390 8804 of perverseness 4297: for they say 559 8804, The LORD 3068 hath forsaken 5800 8804 the earth 776, and the LORD 3068 seeth 7200 8802 not.(full of blood: Heb. filled with, etc)(perverseness: or, wresting of judgment)

9:10 And as for me also, mine eye 5869 shall not spare 2347 8799, neither will I have pity 2550 8799, [but] I will recompense 5414 8804 their way 1870 upon their head 7218.

9:11 And, behold, the man 376 clothed 3847 8803 with linen 906, which [had] the inkhorn 7083 by his side 4975, reported 7725 8688 the matter 1697, saying 559 8800, I have done 6213 8804 as thou hast commanded 6680 8765 me.(reported…: Heb. returned the word)
