Ezekiel 14:12-21

12Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me sayingH559, 13“SonH1121 of manH120, ifH3588 a countryH776 sinsH2398 against Me by 1committingH4603 unfaithfulnessH4603, and I stretchH5186 out My handH3027 againstH5921 it, 2destroyH7665 its 3supplyH4294 of breadH3899, sendH7971 famineH7458 against it and cutH3772 offH3772 from it both manH120 and beastH929, 14even 4though theseH428 threeH7969 menH376, 5NoahH5146, 6DanielH1840 and 7JobH347 were in its midstH8432, by their own righteousnessH6666 they could only deliverH5337 8themselvesH5315,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 15“IfH3863 I were to cause 9wildH7451 beastsH2421 to passH5674 through the landH776 and they 10depopulatedH7921 it, and it becameH1961 desolateH8077 soH4480H1097 that noH1097 oneH1097 would passH5674 throughH5674 it becauseH4480H6440 of the beastsH2421, 16though theseH428 threeH7969 menH376 were in its midstH8432, as I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “they could not deliverH5337 eitherH518 their sonsH1121 orH518 their daughtersH1323. 11They aloneH905 would be deliveredH5337, but the countryH776 would be desolateH8077. 17OrH176 if I should 12bringH935 a swordH2719 on that countryH776 and sayH559, ‘Let the swordH2719 passH5674 through the countryH776 and 13cutH3772 offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it,’ 18even though theseH428 threeH7969 menH376 were in its midstH8432, as I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “they could not deliverH5337 either their sonsH1121 or their daughtersH1323, but they aloneH905 would be deliveredH5337. 19OrH176 if I should sendH7971 a 14plagueH1698 againstH413 that countryH776 and pourH8210 out My wrathH2534 in bloodH1818 on it to cutH3772 offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it, 20even though NoahH5146, DanielH1840 and JobH347 were in its midstH8432, as I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “they could not deliverH5337 eitherH518 their sonH1121 orH518 their daughterH1323. They would deliverH5337 only themselvesH5315 by their righteousnessH6666.”

21For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “HowH637 muchH637 moreH637H3588 whenH3588 15I sendH7971 My fourH702 16severeH7451 judgmentsH8201 againstH413 JerusalemH3389: swordH2719, famineH7458, wildH7451 beastsH2421 and plagueH1698 to cutH3772 offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it!
