*
The word of the LORD came again to me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously ,
then will I stretch out mine hand upon it ,
and will break the staff of the bread thereof ,
and will send famine upon it ,
and will cut off man and beast from it :
*
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 .
*
If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land ,
and they spoil it ,
so that it be desolate ,
that no man may pass through because of the beasts :
*
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 .
*
Or if I bring a sword upon that land ,
and say ,
Sword ,
go through the land ;
so that I cut off man and beast from it :
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
For thus saith the Lord GOD ;
How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem ,
the sword ,
and the famine ,
and the noisome beast ,
and the pestilence ,
to cut off from it man and beast ?
*
Yet ,
behold ,
therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth ,
both sons and daughters :
behold ,
they shall come forth unto you ,
and ye shall see their way and their doings :
and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem ,
even concerning all that I have brought upon it .
*
And they shall comfort you ,
when ye see their ways 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 .
