Ezekiel 14:14-20

14Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord Yhwh.

15If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:1 16Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Yhwh, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.2

17Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it: 18Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Yhwh, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.

19Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast: 20Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Yhwh, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
