Ezekiel 14:14-16
Good News Translation
14 Even if those three men, Noah, Danel,[a] and Job, were living there, their goodness would save only their own lives.” The Sovereign Lord has spoken.
15 “Or I might send wild animals to kill the people, making the land so dangerous that no one could travel through it, 16 and even if those three men lived there—as surely as I, the Sovereign Lord, am the living God—they would not be able to save even their own children. They would save only their own lives, and the land would become a wilderness.

King James Version
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.
15 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:
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.
