13 “Son of man, when a land sins against Me by persistent unfaithfulness, I will stretch out My hand against it; I will cut off its asupply of bread, send famine on it, and cut off man and beast from it.
14 aEven if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only themselves bby their righteousness,” says the Lord God.
15 “If I cause awild beasts to pass through the land, and they1 empty it, and make it so desolate that no man may pass through because of the beasts,
16 even athough these three men were in it, as I live,” says the Lord God, “they would deliver neither sons nor daughters; only they would be delivered, and the land would be bdesolate.
17 “Or if aI bring a sword on that land, and say, ‘Sword, go through the land,’ and I bcut off man and beast from it,
18 even athough these three men were in it, as I live,” says the Lord God, “they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, but only they themselves would be delivered.
19 “Or if I send aa pestilence into that land and bpour out My fury on it in blood, and cut off from it man and beast,
20 even athough Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live,” says the Lord God, “they would deliver neither son nor daughter; they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness.”
21 For thus says the Lord God: “How much more it shall be when aI send My four severe judgments on Jerusalem—the sword and famine and wild beasts and pestilence—to cut off man and beast from it?
22 aYet behold, there shall be left in it a remnant who will be bbrought out, both sons and daughters; surely they will come out to you, and cyou will see their ways and their doings. Then you will be comforted concerning the disaster that I have brought upon Jerusalem, all that I have brought upon it.
23 And they will comfort you, when you see their ways and their doings; and you shall know that I have done nothing awithout cause that I have done in it,” says the Lord God.
