Ezekiel 14:13-23

13“SonH1121 of manH120, ifH3588 a countryH776 sinsH2398 against Me by 1beingH4603 unfaithfulH4603, and I stretchH5186 outH5186 My handH3027 againstH5921 it, 2destroyH7665 its 3supplyH4294 of breadH3899, sendH7971 famineH7458 against it, and eliminateH3772 from it both humanH120 and animalH929 life, 14even 4though theseH428 threeH7969 menH376, 5NoahH5146, 6DanielH1840, and 7JobH347 were in its midstH8432, by their own righteousnessH6666 they could only saveH5337 8themselvesH5315,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 15“IfH3863 I were to cause 9viciousH7451 animalsH2421 to passH5674 through the landH776 and they 10depopulatedH7921 it, and it becameH1961 desolateH8077 soH4480H1097 thatH4480H1097 noH1097 oneH1097 would passH5674 throughH5674 it becauseH4480H6440 of the animalsH2421, 16though theseH428 threeH7969 menH376 were in its midstH8432, as I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “they could not saveH5337 eitherH518 their sonsH1121 orH518 their daughtersH1323. 11They aloneH905 would be savedH5337, but the countryH776 would be desolateH8077. 17OrH176 if I were to 12bringH935 a swordH2719 on that countryH776 and sayH559, ‘A swordH2719 is to passH5674 through the countryH776,’ and I 13eliminatedH3772 humanH120 and animalH929 life from it, 18even though theseH428 threeH7969 menH376 were in its midstH8432, as I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “they could not saveH5337 either their sonsH1121 or their daughtersH1323, but they aloneH905 would be savedH5337. 19OrH176 if I were to sendH7971 a 14plagueH1698 againstH413 that countryH776 and pourH8210 outH8210 My wrathH2534 on it in bloodH1818 to eliminateH3772 manH120 and animalH929 from it, 20even though NoahH5146, DanielH1840, and JobH347 were in its midstH8432, as I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “they could not saveH5337 eitherH518 their sonH1121 orH518 their daughterH1323. They would saveH5337 only themselvesH5315 by their righteousnessH6666.”

21For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “HowH637 muchH637 moreH637H3588 whenH3588 15I sendH7971 My fourH702 16severeH7451 judgmentsH8201 againstH413 JerusalemH3389: swordH2719, famineH7458, viciousH7451 animalsH2421, and plagueH1698 to eliminateH3772 humanH120 and animalH929 life from it! 22Yet, beholdH2009, 17survivorsH6413 will be leftH3498 in it who will be broughtH3318 outH3318, both sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323. BeholdH2009, they are going to comeH3318 outH3318 to you, and you will 18seeH7200 their conductH1870 and actionsH5949; then you will be 19comfortedH5162 for the disasterH7463 whichH834 I have broughtH935 againstH5921 JerusalemH3389 for everythingH3605 whichH834 I have broughtH935 upon it. 23Then they will comfortH5162 you whenH3588 you seeH7200 their conductH1870 and actionsH5949, for you will knowH3045 that I have not doneH6213 20withoutH2600 reasonH2600 whateverH3605H834 I didH6213 21to it,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
