Jerusalem Will Not Be Spared

¹² And the word of the Lord came to me: ^13 (A)“Son of man, when a land sins against me ^(B)by acting faithlessly, and I stretch out my hand against it and ^(C)break its supply^[a] of bread and send famine upon it, and ^(D)cut off from it man and beast, ^14 (E)even if these three men, ^(F)Noah, ^(G)Daniel, and ^(H)Job, were in it, ^(I)they would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness, declares the Lord God.

¹⁹ “Or ^(A)if I send a pestilence into that land and pour out my wrath upon it with blood, to cut off from it man and beast, ²⁰ even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, declares the Lord God, they would deliver neither son nor daughter. They would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness.
