jps - Ezekiel:14:12-23

jps@Ezekiel:14:12 @ And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

jps@Ezekiel:14:13 @ 'Son of man, when a land sinneth against Me by trespassing grievously, and I stretch out My hand upon it, and break the staff of the bread thereof, and send famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast;

jps@Ezekiel:14:14 @ though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.

jps@Ezekiel:14:15 @ If I cause evil beasts to pass through the land, and they bereave it, and it be desolate, so that no man may pass through because of the beasts;

jps@Ezekiel:14:16 @ though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.

jps@Ezekiel:14:17 @ Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say: Let the sword go through the land, so that I cut off from it man and beast;

jps@Ezekiel:14:18 @ though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.

jps@Ezekiel:14:19 @ Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out My fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast;

jps@Ezekiel:14:20 @ though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.

jps@Ezekiel:14:21 @ For thus saith the Lord GOD: How much more when I send My four sore judgments against Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil beasts, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast.

jps@Ezekiel:14:22 @ And, behold, though there be left a remnant therein that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters; behold, when they come forth unto you, and ye see their way and their doings, then ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it;

jps@Ezekiel:14:23 @ and they shall comfort you, when ye see their way and their doings, and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.'
