Ezekiel 14:14-16
New Century Version
14 Even if three great men like Noah, Daniel, and Job were in that country, their goodness could save only themselves, says the Lord God.
15 “Or I might send wild animals into that land, leaving the land empty and without children. Then no one would pass through it because of the animals. 16 As surely as I live, says the Lord God, even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in the land, they could not save their own sons or daughters. They could save only themselves, but that country would become empty.
