14. though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in the midst of her, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, said the Lord GOD.
15. If I cause an evil beast to pass through the land and destroy her so that it be desolate that there be no one to pass through because of the beast
16. though these three men were in the midst of her, as I live, said the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither their sons nor their daughters; they only shall be delivered, and the land shall be destroyed.
17. Or if I bring a sword upon the land and say: Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast out of her;
18. though these three men were in the midst of her, as I live, said the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither their sons nor their daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
19. Or if I send a pestilence into that land and pour out my fury upon her in blood to cut off out of her man and beast
20. though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in the midst of her, as I live, said the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
