Ezekiel 14:15-17

Lexham English Bible

¹⁵ “If a fierce animal I should let cross through the land, and it should make it childless and it will be a desolation, so that there will not be one crossing over the land due to^[a] the presence of the animal, ¹⁶ even if these three men were in the midst of it, as surely as I live,”^[b] declares^[c] the Lord Yahweh, “surely they will not save sons and daughters; they themselves alone,^[d] they will be saved, but the land will be a desolation. ¹⁷ Or, if I bring a sword over that land, and I say, ‘Sword, let it cross over into^[e] the land!’ And I will cut off from it both human and animal.
