Ezekiel 9:6 in Context — Ezekiel 9

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.

7 Il leur dit: Souillez la maison, et remplissez de morts les parvis!… Sortez!… Ils sortirent, et ils frappèrent dans la ville.

8 Comme ils frappaient, et que je restais encore, je tombai sur ma face, et je m’écriai: Ah! Seigneur Éternel, détruiras-tu tout ce qui reste d’Israël, en répandant ta fureur sur Jérusalem?
