Ezekiel 14:14-20

14even 1though these three men, 2Noah, 3Daniel, and 4Job were in its midst, by their own righteousness they could only save 5themselves,” declares the Lord God. 15“If I were to cause 6vicious animals to pass through the land and they 7depopulated it, and it became desolate so that no one would pass through it because of the animals, 16though these three men were in its midst, as I live,” declares the Lord God, “they could not save either their sons or their daughters. 8They alone would be saved, but the country would be desolate. 17Or if I were to 9bring a sword on that country and say, ‘A sword is to pass through the country,’ and I 10eliminated human and animal life from it, 18even though these three men were in its midst, as I live,” declares the Lord God, “they could not save either their sons or their daughters, but they alone would be saved. 19Or if I were to send a 11plague against that country and pour out My wrath on it in blood to eliminate man and animal from it, 20even though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in its midst, as I live,” declares the Lord God, “they could not save either their son or their daughter. They would save only themselves by their righteousness.”
