17
Or if I bring a sword on that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off from it man and animal;
18
though these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord Yahweh, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only should be delivered themselves.
19
Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my wrath on it in blood, to cut off from it man and animal;
20
though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, says the Lord Yahweh, they should deliver neither son nor daughter; they should but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
21
For thus says the Lord Yahweh: How much more when I send my four sore judgments on Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil animals, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and animal!
