17Or if I bring a sword against that land and say, ‘Let a sword pass through the land,’ and I cut off from it man and beast,

18And if these three men were in its midst, as I live, declares the Lord GOD, they would not deliver sons or daughters; they alone would be delivered.

19Or if I send a plague against that land and pour out my wrath on it with blood, to cut off from it man and beast,

20Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, declares the Lord GOD, they would deliver neither son nor daughter; by their righteousness they would deliver only themselves.

21For thus says the Lord GOD: How much more when I send my four disastrous judgments against Jerusalem—sword and famine and wild beasts and plague—to cut off from it man and beast!
