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.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 9 of Ezekiel. Six executioners receive orders concerning Jerusalem’s judgment, while a man dressed in linen must mark those who groan over the abominations. The contrast distinguishes those who reject corruption from those who participate in it. Judgment begins at the sanctuary, emphasizing the responsibility of those who know the holy place.

Und der HERR sprach zu ihm: Gehe durch die Stadt Jerusalem und zeichne mit einem Zeichen an die Stirn die Leute, so da seufzen und jammern über die Greuel, so darin geschehen.
Y díjole Jehová: Pasa por medio de la ciudad, por medio de Jerusalem, y pon una señal en la frente a los hombres que gimen y que claman a causa de todas las abominaciones que se hacen en medio de ella.
Jehová le dijo: «Recorre la ciudad, recorre Jerusalén, y pon una marca en la frente de los hombres que gimen y se lamentan por todas las abominaciones que se cometen en medio de ella».
L'Eternel lui dit: Passe au milieu de la ville, au milieu de Jérusalem, et fais une marque sur le front des hommes qui soupirent et qui gémissent à cause de toutes les abominations qui s'y commettent.
Passa per mezzo la città, per mezzo Gerusalemme, e fa’ un segno sopra la fronte degli uomini che gemono, e sospirano per tutte le abbominazioni che si commettono nel mezzo di lei
E disse-lhe o SENHOR: Passa pelo meio da cidade, pelo meio de Jerusalém, e marca com um sinal as testas dos homens que suspiram e que gemem por causa de todas as abominações que se cometem no meio dela.
耶和華對他說:「你去走遍 耶路撒冷 全城,那些為城中所做可憎之事嘆息哀哭的人,你要在他們額上做記號。」
