But if you warn righteous people not to sin and they listen to you and do not sin, they will live, and you will have saved yourself, too.”

As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, even if those three men were there, they wouldn’t be able to save their own sons or daughters. They alone would be saved.

As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were there, they wouldn’t be able to save their own sons or daughters. They alone would be saved by their righteousness.

They heard the alarm but ignored it, so the responsibility is theirs. If they had listened to the warning, they could have saved their lives.

But if you warn them to repent and they don’t repent, they will die in their sins, but you will have saved yourself.
