Slay utterly 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 sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.

Verse 6 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.

Erwürget Alte, Jünglinge, Jungfrauen, Kinder und Weiber, alles tot; aber die das Zeichen an sich haben, derer sollt ihr keinen anrühren. Fanget aber an an meinem Heiligtum! Und sie fingen an an den alten Leuten, so vor dem Hause waren.
Matad viejos, mozos y vírgenes, niños y mujeres, hasta que no quede ninguno: mas a todo aquel sobre el cual hubiere señal, no llegaréis; y habéis de comenzar desde mi santuario. Comenzaron pues desde los varones ancianos que estaban delante del templo.
Maten hasta el exterminio a ancianos, jóvenes, vírgenes, niños y mujeres, pero no se acerquen a ningún hombre que lleve la marca. Comiencen por mi santuario». Y comenzaron por los ancianos que estaban delante de la casa.
Tuez, détruisez les vieillards, les jeunes hommes, les vierges, les enfants et les femmes; mais n'approchez pas de quiconque aura sur lui la marque; et commencez par mon sanctuaire! Ils commencèrent par les anciens qui étaient devant la maison.
Uccidete ad esterminio vecchi, e giovani, e vergini, e piccoli fanciulli, e donne; ma non vi accostate ad alcuno, sopra cui sia il segno; e cominciate dal mio santuario. Essi adunque cominciarono da quegli uomini anziani, ch’erano davanti alla Casa.
Matai velhos, jovens, virgens, meninos e mulheres, até exterminá-los; mas a todo o homem que tiver o sinal não vos chegueis; e começai pelo meu santuário. E começaram pelos homens mais velhos que estavam diante da casa.
要將年老的、年輕的、少女、孩童和婦女,從我的聖所開始全都殺盡,只是不可挨近凡有記號的人。」於是他們從殿前的長老殺起。
