Ezekiel 9:1-2 New Century Version (NCV)

1. Then he shouted with a loud voice in my ears, “You who are chosen to punish this city, come near with your weapon in your hand.”

2. Then six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his powerful weapon in his hand. Among them was a man dressed in linen with a writing case at his side. The men went in and stood by the bronze altar.
