Then He called out in my hearing with a loud voice, saying, «Let those who have charge over the city draw near, each with a deadly weapon in his hand.»

And suddenly six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his battle-ax in his hand. One man among them was clothed with linen and had a writeŕs inkhorn at his side. They went in and stood beside the bronze altar.

Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writeŕs inkhorn at his side;

and the LORD said to him, «Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.»

To the others He said in my hearing, «Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity.

Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary.» So they began with the elders who were before the temple.

Then He said to them, «Defile the temple, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!» And they went out and killed in the city.

So it was, that while they were killing them, I was left alone; and I fell on my face and cried out, and said, «Ah, Lord GOD! Will You destroy all the remnant of Israel in pouring out Your fury on Jerusalem?»

Then He said to me, «The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of bloodshed, and the city full of perversity; for they say, «The LORD has forsaken the land, and the LORD does not see!́

And as for Me also, My eye will neither spare, nor will I have pity, but I will recompense their deeds on their own head.»

Just then, the man clothed with linen, who had the inkhorn at his side, reported back and said, «I have done as You commanded me.»

И возопи́ во у́шы мои́ гла́сомъ вели́кимъ, глаго́ля: прибли́жися отмще́нiе гра́да: и кі́йждо имѣ́яше сосу́ды истребле́нiя въ руцѣ́ свое́й.

И се́, ше́сть муже́й идо́ша от пути́ вра́тъ высо́кихъ зря́щихъ на сѣ́веръ, и коему́ждо сѣки́ра [погубле́нiя] въ руцѣ́ его́: и му́жъ еди́нъ посредѣ́ и́хъ облече́нъ въ поди́ръ, и по́ясъ от сапфи́ра о чре́слѣхъ его́: и внидо́ша и ста́ша бли́зъ же́ртвенника мѣ́дянаго.

И сла́ва Бо́га Изра́илева взы́де от херуви́мовъ су́щая на ни́хъ въ непокрове́нное до́му: и призва́ му́жа оболче́на въ поди́ръ, и́же имѣ́яше на чре́слѣхъ свои́хъ по́ясъ.

И рече́ Госпо́дь къ нему́: пройди́ средѣ́ гра́да Иерусали́ма и да́ждь зна́менiя на ли́ца муже́й стеня́щихъ и болѣ́знующихъ о всѣ́хъ беззако́нiихъ быва́ющихъ средѣ́ и́хъ.

И си́мъ рече́, слы́шащу мнѣ́: иди́те во гра́дъ вслѣ́дъ его́, изсѣцы́те и не пощади́те очи́ма ва́шима и не поми́луйте:

ста́рца и ю́ношу и дѣ́ву, и младе́нцы и жены́ избі́йте въ потребле́нiе: а ко всѣ́мъ, на ни́хже е́сть зна́менiе, не прикаса́йтеся: от освяще́нныхъ мои́хъ начни́те. И нача́ша от муже́й ста́рыхъ, и́же бѣ́ша вну́трь въ дому́.

И рече́ къ ни́мъ: оскверни́те до́мъ, и напо́лните пути́ мертвеце́въ исходя́ще, и изсѣцы́те [су́щихъ во гра́дѣ].

И бы́сть внегда́ сѣча́ху и́хъ, оста́хъ а́зъ и падо́хъ ни́цъ, и возопи́хъ и рѣ́хъ: го́ре, [го́ре,] о, лю́тѣ мнѣ́, Адонаю́ Го́споди! еда́ потребля́еши ты́ оста́нки Изра́илевы, егда́ разлива́еши я́рость твою́ на Иерусали́мъ?

И рече́ ко мнѣ́: непра́вда до́му Изра́илева и Иу́дина возвели́чися зѣло́ зѣло́, я́ко напо́лнися земля́ люді́й мно́гихъ, и гра́дъ напо́лнися непра́вдъ и нечисто́тъ, я́ко рѣ́ша: оста́вилъ е́сть Госпо́дь зе́млю и не ви́дитъ Госпо́дь.

И а́зъ е́смь, и не пощади́тъ о́ко мое́, ни поми́лую, пути́ и́хъ на главы́ и́хъ да́хъ.

И се́, му́жъ, оболче́ный въ поди́ръ и препоя́санъ по́ясомъ о чре́слѣхъ свои́хъ, отвѣщава́ше, глаго́ля: сотвори́хъ, я́коже заповѣ́далъ ми́ еси́.
