Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Ezekiel 14:13-21

13“Son of man, if a land sins against Me by acting unfaithfully, and I stretch out My hand against it to cut off its supply of food, to send famine upon it, and to cut off from it both man and beast,
14then even if these three men — Noah, Daniel, and Job— were in it, their righteousness could deliver only themselves, declares the Lord GOD.
15Or if I send wild beasts through the land to leave it childless and desolate, with no man passing through it for fear of the beasts,
16then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if these three men were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. They alone would be delivered, but the land would be desolate.
17Or if I bring a sword against that land and say, ‘Let a sword pass through it,’ so that I cut off from it both man and beast,
18then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if these three men were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. They alone would be delivered.
19Or if I send a plague into that land and pour out My wrath upon it through bloodshed, cutting off from it both man and beast,
20then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. Their righteousness could deliver only themselves.
21For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘How much worse will it be when I send against Jerusalem My four dire judgments — sword, famine, wild beasts, and plague — in order to cut off from it both man and beast?
— Ezekiel 14:13-21
