Ezekiel 14:14-21 though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, says the lord LORD.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, says the lord LORD. ¹⁵ If I cause evil beasts to pass through the land, and they ravage it, and it be made desolate, so that no man may pass through because of the beasts, ¹⁶ though these three men were in it, as I live, says the lord LORD, they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, they only would be delivered, but the land would be desolate. ¹⁷ Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land, so that I cut off from it man and beast, ¹⁸ though these three men were in it, as I live, says the lord LORD, they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only would be delivered themselves. ¹⁹ Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my wrath upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast, ²⁰ though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, says the lord LORD, they would deliver neither son nor daughter, they would but deliver their own souls by their righteousness. ²¹ For thus says the lord LORD: How much more when I send my four severe judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil beasts, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast!
