Kill old man and young man and virgin and little children and women, to utter wiping out; but do not come near any upon whom the sign is, and begin from my sanctuary. And they began with the older men who were inside the house.
The command insists on totality except where the sign intervenes, and the judgment's starting point at the sanctuary exposes the special guilt of those nearest the holy things.

And he said to me, "The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah has become exceedingly, exceedingly great, because the land has been filled with many peoples, and the city has been filled with injustice and uncleanness; because they said, 'The Lord has abandoned the land; the Lord does not see.'"
The divine answer grounds the severity of the judgment in Judah's swollen guilt and in the practical atheism that says the Lord neither remains nor sees.
