26:008:016 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’s house,
           and, behold, at the door of the temple of the lord, between
           the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with
           their backs toward the temple of the lord, and their faces
           toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

26:008:017 Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man?  Is it
           a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the
           abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the
           land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: 
           and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.

26:008:018 Therefore will I also deal in fury:  mine eye shall not spare,
           neither will I have pity:  and though they cry in mine ears
           with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

26:009:001 He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause
           them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every
           man with his destroying weapon in his hand.

26:009:002 And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate,
           which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon
           in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen,
           with a writer’s inkhorn by his side:  and they went in, and
           stood beside the brasen altar.

26:009:003 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the
           cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house.  And
           he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the
           writer’s inkhorn by his side;

26:009:004 And the lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city,
           through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the
           foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the
           abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

26:009:005 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him
           through the city, and smite:  let not your eye spare, neither
           have ye pity: 

26:009:006 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children,
           and women:  but come not near any man upon whom is the mark;
           and begin at my sanctuary.  Then they began at the ancient men
           which were before the house.

26:009:007 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts
           with the slain:  go ye forth.  And they went forth, and slew in
           the city.

26:009:008 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was
           left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord
           god! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy
           pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
