nkjv - Ezekiel:14:12-23

nkjv@Ezekiel:14:12 @ The word of the LORD came again to me, saying:

nkjv@Ezekiel:14:13 @ "Son of man, when a land sins against Me by persistent unfaithfulness, I will stretch out My hand against it; I will cut off its supply of bread, send famine on it, and cut off man and beast from it.

nkjv@Ezekiel:14:14 @ Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness," says the Lord GOD.

nkjv@Ezekiel:14:15 @ "If I cause wild beasts to pass through the land, and they empty it, and make it so desolate that no man may pass through because of the beasts,

nkjv@Ezekiel:14:16 @ even though these three men were in it, as I live," says the Lord GOD, "they would deliver neither sons nor daughters; only they would be delivered, and the land would be desolate.

nkjv@Ezekiel:14:17 @ "Or if I bring a sword on that land, and say, "Sword, go through the land,' and I cut off man and beast from it,

nkjv@Ezekiel:14:18 @ even though these three men were in it, as I live," says the Lord GOD, "they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, but only they themselves would be delivered.

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

nkjv@Ezekiel:14:20 @ even though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live," says the Lord GOD, "they would deliver neither son nor daughter; they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness."

nkjv@Ezekiel:14:21 @ For thus says the Lord GOD: "How much more it shall be when I send My four severe judgments on Jerusalem--the sword and famine and wild beasts and pestilence--to cut off man and beast from it?

nkjv@Ezekiel:14:22 @ Yet behold, there shall be left in it a remnant who will be brought out, both sons and daughters; surely they will come out to you, and you will see their ways and their doings. Then you will be comforted concerning the disaster that I have brought upon Jerusalem, all that I have brought upon it.

nkjv@Ezekiel:14:23 @ And they will comfort you, when you see their ways and their doings; and you shall know that I have done nothing without cause that I have done in it," says the Lord GOD.
