Expanded Bible

Jerusalem Will Not Be Spared

¹² The ·Lord spoke his word [^Lword of the Lord came] to me, saying: ¹³ “·Human [^TSon of man; 2:1], if ·the people of a country [^La country/land] sin against me by not being ·loyal [faithful], I will ·use my power [^Lstretch out my hand] against them. I will cut off their supply of ·food [bread] and send ·a time of hunger [famine], destroying both people and animals. ¹⁴ Even if three great men like Noah, Daniel [^Ceither the prophet Daniel (who was still a young man at this time) or an ancient Canaanite hero known for his wisdom and justice], and Job were in that country, their ·goodness [righteousness] could save only themselves, says the Lord God.
