Ezekiel 9:7 in Context — Ezekiel 9

5 Y á los otros dijo á mis oídos: Pasad por la ciudad en pos de él, y herid; no perdone vuestro ojo, ni tengáis misericordia.

6 Matad viejos, mozos y vírgenes, niños y mujeres, hasta que no quede ninguno: mas á todo aquel sobre el cual hubiere señal, no llegaréis; y habéis de comenzar desde mi santuario. Comenzaron pues desde los varones ancianos que estaban delante del templo.

7 Y díjoles: Contaminad la casa, y henchid los atrios de muertos: salid. Y salieron, é hirieron en la ciudad.

8 Y aconteció que, habiéndolos herido, yo quedé y postréme sobre mi rostro, y clamé, y dije: ¡Ah, Señor Jehová! ¿has de destruir todo el resto de Israel derramando tu furor sobre Jerusalem?

9 Y díjome: La maldad de la casa de Israel y de Judá es grande sobremanera, pues la tierra está llena de sangres, y la ciudad está llena de perversidad: porque han dicho: Dejado ha Jehová la tierra, y Jehová no ve.
