    [bbe]  Then crying out in my hearing in a loud voice, he said, Let the overseers of the town come near, every man armed.
9:2 [hgb]  忽 然 有 六 个 人 从 朝 北 的 上 门 而 来 ， 各 人 手 拿 杀 人 的 兵 器 。 内 中 有 一 人 身 穿 细 麻 衣 ， 腰 间 带 着 墨 盒 子 。 他 们 进 来 ， 站 在 铜 祭 坛 旁 。
    [kjv]  And, behold¹, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter² weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen³, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.

9:3 [hgb]  以 色 列 神 的 荣 耀 本 在 基 路 伯 上 ， 现 今 从 那 里 升 到 殿 的 门 槛 。 神 将 那 身 穿 细 麻 衣 ， 腰 间 带 着 墨 盒 子 的 人 召 来 。

9:4 [hgb]  耶 和 华 对 他 说 ， 你 去 走 遍 耶 路 撒 冷 全 城 ， 那 些 因 城 中 所 行 可 憎 之 事 叹 息 哀 哭 的 人 ， 画 记 号 在 额 上 。
    [kjv]  And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
    [bbe]  The Lord said to him, Go through the town, through the middle of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the brows of the men who are sorrowing and crying for all the disgusting things which are done in it.
9:5 [hgb]  我 耳 中 听 见 他 对 其 余 的 人 说 ， 要 跟 随 他 走 遍 全 城 ， 以 行 击 杀 。 你 们 的 眼 不 要 顾 惜 ， 也 不 要 可 怜 他 们 。
    [kjv]  And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite⁸: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
    [bbe]  And to these he said in my hearing, Go through the town after him using your axes: do not let your eyes have mercy, and have no pity:
9:6 [hgb]  要 将 年 老 的 ， 年 少 的 ， 并 处 女 ， 婴 孩 ， 和 妇 女 ， 从 圣 所 起 全 都 杀 尽 ， 只 是 凡 有 记 号 的 人 不 要 挨 近 他 。 于 是 他 们 从 殿 前 的 长 老 杀 起 。
    [kjv]  Slay utterly⁹ old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary¹⁰. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
    [bbe]  Give up to destruction old men and young men and virgins¹¹, little children and women: but do not come near any man who has the mark on him: and make a start at my holy place. So they made a start with the old men who were before the house.
9:7 [hgb]  他 对 他 们 说 ， 要 污 秽 这 殿 ， 使 院 中 充 满 被 杀 的 人 。 你 们 出 去 吧 。 他 们 就 出 去 ， 在 城 中 击 杀 。
    [kjv]  And he said unto them, Defile¹² the house, and fill the courts with the slain¹³: go ye forth¹⁴. And they went forth, and slew¹⁵ in the city.
    [bbe]  And he said to them, Make the house unclean, make the open places full of dead: go forward and send destruction on the town.
9:8 [hgb]  他 们 击 杀 的 时 候 ， 我 被 留 下 ， 我 就 俯 伏 在 地 ， 说 ， 哎 。 主 耶 和 华 阿 ， 你 将 忿 怒 倾 在 耶 路 撒 冷 ， 岂 要 将 以 色 列 所 剩 下 的 人 都 灭 绝 吗 ？
    [kjv]  And it came to pass, while they were slaying¹⁶ them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt¹⁷ thou destroy all the residue¹⁸ of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
    [bbe]  Now while they were doing so, and I was untouched, I went down on my face, and crying out, I said, Ah, Lord! will you give all the rest of Israel to destruction in letting loose your wrath¹⁹ on Jerusalem?
9:9 [hgb]  他 对 我 说 ， 以 色 列 家 和 犹 大 家 的 罪 孽 极 其 重 大 。 遍 地 有 流 血 的 事 ， 满 城 有 冤 屈 ， 因 为 他 们 说 ， 耶 和 华 已 经 离 弃 这 地 ， 他 看 不 见 我 们 。
    [kjv]  Then said he unto me, The iniquity²⁰ of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness²¹: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken²² the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
    [bbe]  Then he said to me, The sin of the children of Israel and Judah is very, very great, and the land is full of blood and the town full of evil ways: for they say, The Lord has gone away from the land, and the Lord does not see.
9:10 [hgb]  故 此 ， 我 眼 必 不 顾 惜 ， 也 不 可 怜 他 们 ， 要 照 他 们 所 行 的 报 应 在 他 们 头 上 。
    [kjv]  And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
    [bbe]  And as for me, my eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity, but I will send the punishment of their ways on their heads.
9:11 [hgb]  那 穿 细 麻 衣 ， 腰 间 带 着 墨 盒 子 的 人 将 这 事 回 覆 说 ， 我 已 经 照 你 所 吩 咐 的 行 了 。
    [kjv]  And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
    [bbe]  Then the man clothed in linen, who had the inkpot at his side, came back and said, I have done what you gave me orders to do.
