Ezekiel 14:12-14
Easy-to-Read Version
Jerusalem Will Be Punished
12 Then the word of the Lord came to me. He said, 13 “Son of man, I will punish any nation that leaves me and sins against me. I will stop their food supply. I might cause a famine and remove the people and animals from that country. 14 I would punish that country even if Noah, Daniel, and Job[a] lived there. They could save their own lives by their goodness, but they could not save the whole country.” This is what the Lord God said.
