6 aUtterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but bdo not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and cbegin at My sanctuary.” dSo they began with the elders who were before the2 temple.  
7 Then He said to them, “Defile the1 temple, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” And they went out and killed in the city.  
8 So it was, that while they were killing them, I was left alone; and I afell on my face and cried out, and said, b“Ah, Lord God! Will You destroy all the remnant of Israel in pouring out Your fury on Jerusalem?”
