Yechezkel 9:4-11 יחזקאל ט׳:ד׳-י״א

and the Lord said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Yerushalayim, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry on account of all the abominations that are done in her midst.

And to the others he said in my hearing, Go after him through the city, and strike: let not your eye spare, neither have pity:

slay utterly old and young, both maid, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began with the old men who were before the house.

And he said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go out. And they went out, and slew in the city.

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 remnant of Yisra᾽el in the pouring of Thy fury upon Yerushalayim?

Then said he to me, The iniquity of the house of Yisra᾽el and Yehuda is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of injustice: for they say, The Lord has forsaken the land, and the Lord sees not.

And as for me also, my eye shall not spare, nor will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.

And, behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the ink well by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as Thou hast commanded me.
