Ezekiel 14:19-21

Good News Translation

¹⁹ “If I send an epidemic on that country and in my anger take many lives, killing people and animals, ²⁰ even if Noah, Danel, and Job lived there—as surely as I, the Sovereign Lord, am the living God—they would not be able to save even their own children. Their goodness would save only their own lives.”

^21 (A)This is what the Sovereign Lord is saying: “I will send my four worst punishments on Jerusalem—war, famine, wild animals, and disease—to destroy people and animals alike.
