Ezekiel 9:4 in Context — Ezekiel 9

2 Et voici, six hommes arrivèrent par le chemin de la porte supérieure du côté du septentrion, chacun son instrument de destruction à la main. Il y avait au milieu d’eux un homme vêtu de lin, et portant une écritoire à la ceinture. Ils vinrent se placer près de l’autel d’airain.

3 La gloire du Dieu d’Israël s’éleva du chérubin sur lequel elle était, et se dirigea vers le seuil de la maison; et il appela l’homme vêtu de lin, et portant une écritoire à la ceinture.

4 L’Éternel lui dit: Passe au milieu de la ville, au milieu de Jérusalem, et fais une marque sur le front des hommes qui soupirent et qui gémissent à cause de toutes les abominations qui s’y commettent.

5 Et, à mes oreilles, il dit aux autres: Passez après lui dans la ville, et frappez; que votre œil soit sans pitié, et n’ayez point de miséricorde!

6 Tuez, détruisez les vieillards, les jeunes hommes, les vierges, les enfants et les femmes; mais n’approchez pas de quiconque aura sur lui la marque; et commencez par mon sanctuaire! Ils commencèrent par les anciens qui étaient devant la maison.
