13Son of man, when a land, sinning against me, does wrong, and my hand is stretched out against it, and the support of its bread is broken, and I make it short of food, cutting off man and beast from it:
14Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, only themselves would they keep safe by their righteousness, says the Lord.
15Or if I send evil beasts through the land causing destruction and making it waste, so that no man may go through because of the beasts:
16Even if these three men were in it, by my life, says the Lord, they would not keep safe their sons or daughters, but only themselves, and the land would be made waste.
17Or if I send a sword against that land, and say, Sword, go through the land, cutting off from it man and beast:
18Even if these three men were in it, by my life, says the Lord, they would not keep safe their sons or daughters, but only themselves.
