Ezekiel 14:12-14
Good News Translation
Noah, Danel, and Job
12 The Lord spoke to me. 13 “Mortal man,” he said, “if a country sins and is unfaithful to me, I will reach out and destroy its supply of food. I will send a famine and kill people and animals alike. 14 Even if those three men, Noah, Danel,[a] and Job, were living there, their goodness would save only their own lives.” The Sovereign Lord has spoken.
