Ezekiel 14:14-20

English Standard Version

^14 (A)even if these three men, ^(B)Noah, ^(C)Daniel, and ^(D)Job, were in it, ^(E)they would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness, declares the Lord God.

^15 (F)“If I cause wild beasts to pass through the land, and they ravage it, ^(G)and it be made desolate, so that no one may pass through because of the beasts, ¹⁶ even if these three men were in it, ^(H)as I live, declares the Lord God, they would deliver neither sons nor daughters. They alone would be delivered, but ^(I)the land would be desolate.

¹⁷ “Or ^(J)if I bring a sword upon that land and say, Let a sword pass through the land, ^(K)and I cut off from it man and beast, ^18 (L)though these three men were in it, as I live, declares the Lord God, they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they alone would be delivered.

¹⁹ “Or ^(M)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.
