Open this scene in the reader →12And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
13Son of man, if a land sins against me by acting unfaithfully, and I stretch out my hand against it and break its supply of bread, and send famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast,
14even if these three men were in its midst—Noah, Daniel, and Job—they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness, declares the Lord GOD.
15If I cause dangerous wild animals to pass through the land, and they bereave it, and it becomes a desolation, without anyone passing through because of the animals,
16Even if these three men were in its midst, as I live, declares the Lord GOD, they would deliver neither sons nor daughters; they alone would be delivered, and the land would become a desolation.
