Ezekiel 8:17-18 BBE Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? is it a small thing to the children of Judah (Gal 3:26-29; Gal 3:7-14) that they do the disgusting things which they are doing here? for they have made the land full of violent behaviour, making me angry again and again: and see, they put the branch to my nose (offend me in my own temple). (18) For this reason I will let loose my wrath: my eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity.
Ezekiel 9:1-8 BBE Then crying out in my hearing in a loud voice, he said, Let the overseers of the town come near, every man armed. (2) And six men came from the way of the higher doorway looking to the north, every man with his axe in his hand: and one man among them was clothed in linen, with a writer's inkpot at his side. And they went in and took their places by the brass altar. (3) And the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the winged ones on which it was resting, to the doorstep of the house. And crying out to the man clothed in linen who had the writer's inkpot at his side, (4) 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. (5) 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: (6) Give up to destruction old men and young men and virgins, 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. (7) And he said to them, Make the house unclean, make the open places full of dead: go forward and send destruction on the town. (8) 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 wrath on Jerusalem?
The ancient city of Jerusalem was where the temple of   יהוה   existed. The city thus represented his connection with mankind. Today, his connection with mankind is through those who claim to be Christians. (Gal 3:26-29; Gal 3:7-14) The final fulfillment of this judgment will come on those who falsely claim Christianity. (Mat 7:15-20)
You should know God's name is   יהוה   as He gave it to mankind in the original Old Testament language. You will note some of the translations quoted use "LORD" to represent   יהוה   while others use the attempted English translations of "Jehovah" or "Yahweh" to replace the name of God.

Ezekiel 8:17-9:8 GNB The LORD said to me, "Mortal man, do you see that? These people of Judah (Gal 3:26-29; Gal 3:7-14) are not satisfied with merely doing all the disgusting things you have seen here and with spreading violence throughout the country. No, they must come and do them right here in the Temple and make me even more angry. Look how they insult me in the most offensive way possible! (18) They will feel all the force of my anger. I will not spare them or show them any mercy. They will shout prayers to me as loud as they can, but I will not listen to them."
Ezekiel 9:1-8 GNB Then I heard God shout, "Come here, you men who are going to punish the city. Bring your weapons with you." (2) At once six men came from the outer north gate of the Temple, each one carrying a weapon. With them was a man dressed in linen clothes, carrying something to write with. They all came and stood by the bronze altar. (3) Then the dazzling light of the presence of the God of Israel rose up from the winged creatures where it had been, and moved to the entrance of the Temple. The LORD  () called to the man dressed in linen, (4) "Go through the whole city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the forehead of everyone who is distressed and troubled because of all the disgusting things being done in the city." (5) And I heard God say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill. Spare no one; have mercy on no one. (6) Kill the old men, young men, young women, mothers, and children. But don't touch anyone who has the mark on his forehead. Start here at my Temple." So they began with the leaders who were standing there at the Temple. (7) God said to them, "Defile the Temple. Fill its courtyards with corpses. Get to work!" So they began to kill the people in the city. (8) While the killing was going on, I was there alone...
Ezekiel 8:17-9:8 GW He asked me, "Son of man, do you see this? Isn't it bad enough that the people of Judah (Gal 3:26-29; Gal 3:7-14) have done these disgusting things that you have seen here? Yet, they also fill the land with violence and continue to provoke me even more. Look how they insult me in the worst possible way. (18) So I will take action because I'm angry, and I won't have compassion for them or feel sorry for them. Even if they shout in my ears, I won't listen to them."
Ezekiel 9:1-8 GW Then I heard the LORD call out with a loud voice. He said, "Come here, those who are going to punish this city. Each of you should bring your weapon with you." (2) So six men came from the upper north gate. Each one brought a deadly weapon with him. Among them was a person dressed in linen who was carrying paper and pen. The men came in and stood by the bronze altar. (3) Then the glory of the God of Israel went up from the angels, where it had been, to the temple's entrance. The LORD  () called to the person dressed in linen who was carrying paper and pen. (4) The LORD said to that person, "Go throughout the city of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of those who sigh and groan about all the disgusting things that are being done in the city." (5) Then he said to the others as I was listening, "Follow him throughout the city and kill. Don't have any compassion, and don't feel sorry. (6) Kill old men, young men, old women, young women, and children. But don't come near anyone who has a mark on him. Start with my holy place." So they started with the old men in front of the temple. (7) He said to them, "Dishonor the temple! Fill its courtyards with dead people, and then leave." So they went out and killed the people in the city. (8) As they were killing people, I was left alone...
Ezekiel 8:17-9:8 LITV And He said to me, Son of man, have you seen? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah (Gal 3:26-29; Gal 3:7-14) from doing the abominations which they do here? For they have filled the land with violence and have returned to provoke Me to anger. And, behold, they are putting the branch to their nose! (18) And I also will deal with fury. My eye shall not spare, and I will not have pity. And though they cry in My ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.
Ezekiel 9:1-8 LITV And He cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, Let the overseers of the city draw near, even each with his destroying weapon in his hand. (2) And, behold, six men were coming from the way of the Upper Gate, which faces north. And each had his shattering weapon in his hand. And one man among them was clothed in linen, and an ink horn of a scribe at his loins. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar. (3) And the glory of the God of Israel had gone on, from on the cherub where it was on it, to the threshold of the house. And He called to the man clothed in linen with the ink horn of a scribe at his loins. (4) And Jehovah  () said to him, Pass through in the midst of the city, in the midst of Jerusalem, and mark a mark on the foreheads of the men who are groaning and are mourning over all the abominations that are done in her midst. (5) And He said to those in my hearing, Pass over in the city after him and strike. Do not let your eye spare, and do not have pity. (6) Slay the aged men, the young man, and the virgin, even children, and women, all to destruction. But to every man who has the mark on him, do not come near. And begin from My sanctuary. And they began with the aged men who were before the house. (7) And He said to them, Defile the house and fill the courts with the dying. Go forth! And they went out and killed in the city. (8) And it happened as they struck, and I remained, even I...
