Ezekiel 9 is the ninth chapter of the Book of Ezekiel in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. This book contains the prophecies attributed to the prophet/priest Ezekiel, and is one of the Books of the Prophets.[1] This chapter, sub-titled "The Wicked Are Slain" in the New King James Version,[2] contains God's "judgment on the idolaters" [3] who defiled the temple in Jerusalem. Ezekiel's vision of the defiled temple continues as far as Ezekiel 11:25.[4]
