எசேக்கியேல் 14:17-21
17
Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
18
Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
19
Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
20
Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
21
For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
