Ezekiel 14:17-19

New English Translation

¹⁷ “Or suppose I were to bring a sword against that land and say, ‘Let a sword pass through the land,’ and I were to kill both people and animals. ¹⁸ Even if these three men were in it, as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, they could not save their own sons or daughters—they would save only their own lives.

¹⁹ “Or suppose I were to send a plague into that land and pour out my rage on it with bloodshed, killing both people and animals.
