Ezekiel 9:2Easy To Read VersionThen I saw six men walking on the road from the upper gate. This gate is on the north side. Each man had his own deadly weapon in his hand. One of the men wore linen clothes. {\cf2\super [73]} He wore a scribe’s pen and ink set {\cf2\super [74]} at his waist. Those men went to the bronze altar \{in the temple\} and stood there. See the chapter |
So I will soon send for all the family groups of the north. {\cf2\super [202]} ” This message is from the Lord. “I will soon send for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. He is my servant. I will bring those people against the land of Judah and against the people of Judah. I will bring them against all the nations around you too. I will destroy all of those countries. I will make those lands like an empty desert forever. People will see those countries, and whistle at how badly they were destroyed.
Then I saw something that looked like an arm. The arm reached out and grabbed me by the hair on my head. Then the wind {\cf2\super [60]} lifted me into the air. And in God’s vision, {\cf2\super [61]} he took me to Jerusalem. He took me to the inner gate—the gate that is on the north side. The statue that makes God jealous is by that gate.
