- "Utterly slay old men, young men, maidens, little children, and women, but do not touch any man on whom is the mark; and you shall start from My sanctuary." So they started with the elders who were before the temple.
- And He said to them, "Defile the temple and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!" Thus they went out and struck down the people in the city.
- As they were striking the people and I alone was left, I fell on my face and cried out saying, "Alas, Lord GOD! Are You destroying the whole remnant of Israel by pouring out Your wrath on Jerusalem?"
- Then He said to me, "The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is very, very great, and the land is filled with blood and the city is full of perversion; for they say, 'The LORD has forsaken the land, and the LORD does not see!'
- "But as for Me, My eye will have no pity nor will I spare, but I will bring their conduct upon their heads."

- 要将年老的,年少的,并处女,婴孩,和妇女,从圣所起全都杀尽,只是凡有记号的人不要挨近他。于是他们从殿前的长老杀起。
- 他对他们说,要污秽这殿,使院中充满被杀的人。你们出去吧。他们就出去,在城中击杀。
- 他们击杀的时候,我被留下,我就俯伏在地,说,哎。主耶和华阿,你将忿怒倾在耶路撒冷,岂要将以色列所剩下的人都灭绝麽。
- 他对我说,以色列家和犹大家的罪孽极其重大。遍地有流血的事,满城有冤屈,因为他们说,耶和华已经离弃这地,他看不见我们。
- 故此,我眼必不顾惜,也不可怜他们,要照他们所行的报应在他们头上。
